    The only way this can be worse is if they cover it in Swarovski crystals too.

    @layabout saaving Saab one caar at a time: Why is this cross-posted to Jalopnik? It's not a car, it's not car-branded, and Jalopnik is not a blog about conspicuous over-consumption.


    Okay, Ray Wert is all about conspicuous over-consumption, but the rest of us are not. Damn Ray and his Burberry Quattroporte.

    @layabout saaving Saab one caar at a time: Maybe Wert's replacing it with a Chanel Segway, and that's why it's been cross-posted to Jalopnik for no other logical reason?

    @weatherman: Well it's not only the fact that they're saying what you just point out, but stating that having a disability it's just an excuse to use one, I think it's more a true necesity. It's like saying that people with some disabilities use wheelchairs just for fun.

    Given that the purse attached to the front is going to run you upward of $4,000+ alone, I can't imagine the damage this thing would run. Anyways, I always hated that new Chanel leather (as pictured). Might I add that the quilted leather handlebars and the errrr rims(?) also are "Chanel". This has to run upward of 20k. HORRIFYING. Did they make this just for Paris Hilton?

    Is that a huge horn on the front of that thing? Also, I find it highly amusing that this is an all-terrain version of the Segway, because of course Chanel customers will be traveling off road all the time on this.

    Why would you be mad at Goyard for supplying a product that has an existing demand? Consumer sovereignty is what drives our economy. If you were to say fuck you to anyone it should be the people bought such frivolity but even then you are missing the point. $650 for Louis Vuitton wallet? $1200 for a Ferragamo folder? Why not chastise the entire luxury goods industry for doing what it does best; sell over priced, blatantly branded products to a market that gladly eats them up because of the logo. Wait, am I talking about Apple?

    @MarvelaJaguar: Under Goyard's metric of inflation (assuming that the typical laptop sleeve should cost $40), the Goyard Macbook would be priced at $25,000.

    @Anonymoose: It couldn't be fashioned from baby seal skin like the $1200 version, because too many baby seals would have to die. I went with the veal calf version, because there is just more leather on one of those delicious little bastards.


    Am I right, or am I right? Wait, I said silk. Dammit, you got me.

    First of all, Goyard hates you, not humanity.


    Second, you're a blogger; bloggers are not human.
