The Shape Issue 2014: Heavy Duty

This article is a little all over the place.  It covers handbags, but never really lands on a topic.  Written by Lynn Yaeger, the article starts with describing a particularly heavy Givenchy Nightingale, but then just turns into a list of handbags and the different weights they have.

At one point in this confusing article, Yaeger quotes the Roger Vivier creative director Bruno Frisoni when he states that "you want [a handbag] to have some weight--just not a heavy weight."  If anything, Yaeger should have elaborated on this and built it into a story.  She also brings up Coach's creative director Stuart Vevers' desire to make handbags lighter.  She should have interviewed a few more people on this topic and formed some sort of opinion, or at least left all the facts out there.  This article is just too thrown together.
