Moschino Jacket Quilted Leather Shoulder Bag and Biker Leather Backpack:

Finally, the long-awaited Moschino jacket bags are here. Yep, now you can wear your leather motorcycle jacket and carry it, too. What a world we live in! Silly as the concept may seem, it’s all relative. They’re really not so ridiculous when compared to the likes of classic books posing as bags, especially when they’re made out of cigar boxes and old fabric and they go for the same price. At least there’s a level of craftsmanship and ingenuity going behind this kitsch.

Kicking things off with a McDonald’s-themed capsule collection, Jeremy Scott has unsurprisingly caused a stir upon taking the reigns at Moschino and he clearly has no plan to slow down. Paying homage to the quintessential quilted Chanel jacket and the classic biker jacket, these thoroughly irreverent bags flaunt Italian humor at its best.

That said, however, I don’t think I would ever carry them. Maybe I’m being traditional, but I personally prefer my jackets on my back and my sleeves serving a purpose! If I had one of these bags, they would stay on display at home. What about you? Or maybe the question should rather be: Which street-style blogger will be snapped carrying one first? Because you know it’s only a (short) matter of time.
