Those $45,000 bags are a sellout

That new Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork Bag everyone is blathering about? The one that's supposedly the most expensive bag ever? The one being disparaged from blog to blog as the ugliest bag ever?

Sold out.

Yes, some two-dozen special customers of the venerable French line ordered the $45,000 custom-made shoulder bags months ago - and they've all been delivered. No more are being made, and Vuitton doesn't want to talk about them...

No word yet on who would pay the equivalent of a college education for the Vuitton Tribute, a startling-looking bag designed by Marc Jacobs and made up of pieces of 15 Vuitton bags. The British press, never shy about sniping at the French, referred to the bag as "Frankenstein's monster" when it appeared on the runway last fall.
Now, months later, pictures are turning up on the purse blogs, where bag lovers dish and damn with abandon. Their take was not kind: "An atrocity," declares Kelly Cook of Bagsnob.com. "Ridiculously hideous... the craze for this bag has got to stop."
