No Matter How Bad The Economy Is Mischa Barton Still Wants You to Buy Her Shitty Handbags

Remember when boho was chic? Misha Barton does and she wants you to, also.

You may have noticed that we’re in some sort of recession lately and with that some major changes are happening in fashion. 1) Designers are ditching Bryant Park for less expensive locations, 2) Expensive labels are coming out with cheaper diffusion lines and 3) Celebrities are skipping the sweatshops and considering other ways to bank on their names. Well, the last one was something I was hoping for, unfortunatly Mishca Barton didn’t get the message.

The former star of the OC (remember that show, it was kind of like Gossip Girls only poorly written and with less talented actors) has decided that with or without your money she was going to release her line of boho inspired handbags and headbands for you to spend your hard earned capital on.

Of course, any fashionee knows that boho’s time to shine has come and gone. Back in the days when Jude Law still had hair and Sienna Miller was still someone to know, but now a boho styled collection seems dated and down right inappropriate in our cash crunched period of frugal chic/back-to-basics shopping mindset.

But back to the collection, the handbags are currently in their third season, a collaboration with Ri2k, a London-based design house, and are sold only in Europe and Australia. The headbands are new and were made through a collaboration with Stacey Lapidus, a former Vanity Fair accessories editor, who spotted Mishca back when paparazzi weren’t taking pictures of her lard ass and thought she’d make the perfect design buddy. No word on whether these are going to be available in the US anytime soon, but hopefully someone picks them up here, we all know this girl has a drinking habit to fuel.
