Would you buy the Kim Haneul handbag?
Kim Haneul (On Air) is collaborating with Swarovski in designing her own “crystal handbag.”
Last month, Kim Haneul was selected by the new product brand Crystallized Swarovski Elements as their “Crystal Lady” of Korea, and this opportunity comes in honor of that selection. The handbag will be on display from December 12 through 18 in Seoul’s Shinsegae Department Store, after which it will be sold via auction. Proceeds will be donated to charity.
Kim Haneul will be at the department store on the 11th to be named Crystal Lady, at which she will show off her bag and wear a dress designed specially for her featuring Swarovski crystals.
(Too bad the bag is so unremarkable. Some might say ugly, even. I mean, really, you have a chance to collaborate with Swarovski and the best you could do was tack a bunch of rocks onto two strips on the side?)

but watch it become the next biggest trend -_-
yeahhh agree with sue..
aww i would think kim haneul could do better.
It would have looked better without the stuff at the side. One crystal would have been nice. Or she could have done a necklace..
It looks cheap…..
horrendous…
maybe.. this is how the handbag looks from the back. the front is on the other side (which is not shown in this photograph)
I guess her talent does not lie in handbag making. But nice try. Kim Ha Neul.
She looks nice when she wears her hair like that. Also love her earring. . People with big faces can be very attractive and striking. They really stand out. Sometimes small faces are just cute and sweet & don’t the same presence. I guess it also helps to be tall like her. She was very good as the diva actress in On Air partly because of her majestic face.
“FRESH RAMEN”
lmao…I thought I was the only one that heard that…
hm, i honestly wouldn’t buy it even if it’s only 20 bucks.
No kidding but even the bag of my grandma looks better.
The ideas are lost?
Functionality has prevailed for decorating?
The only points of light and color are placed onto two strips on the side, because, I think, Kim Haneul feared “the fragility” of “crystal handbag” in daily life.
The practicality was her first thought.
Who uses the handbag knows…
She’s missed the point completely, if you’re making a bag with crystals it’s meant to be impractical and fabulous.
Make it so small you can’t even fit your lipstick in there and so glittery it blinds people.
What if the crystals fall off ?!
Without the swarokvski, it looks better…
It looks like random pieces of rock you collected at the beach. Nothing like Swarovski.
On another note, irony that this article was posted right after the KSW-STY debacle?
it’s cute without the crystals. i agree…
boring, just like her….
Would I buy her handbag? NO as it will be overpriced and the design is a big turn off for me…..
Her bag? Sorry, not attractive enough. I prefer Kim Min Hee’s ones. Chic and young..
It’s not ugly.
It’s fugly.
she’s so funny she must wear this bag everytime since she create it, kim haneul came from designer major??? i think kim tae hee and choi jiwoo better to be pointed they are Fashion designer major. last time i saw Kim haneul With Balenciaga’s Bag hahahaha. since this for charity that’s ok
It would have looked nicer if she dropped the weird straps and put the crystals on the belt horizontally.
Interesting try, would she seriously have carried this “tragedy” herself?
no matter what the design is
she is soo beautiful and cool
that why she was choose to be “Crystal Lady” of Korea
they are just want the top star who got popularity for promoting their brand
Would you buy the Kim Haneul handbag?
if i have money enough
it seems for the rich and hi-class who have good test
It’s simple, I like it.
I wouldn’t pay over 100$ for it though.
ah ah i won’t — although i’m a huge fan of both Swarovski crystals as i got some bracelets bought made of it & a huge fan of Kim, i think the bag (or kabang in Korean) is unattractive, the colour, the way the sequence or crystals were adorned on the side straps didn’t look intriguing to me! maybe if the design is unique, i’ll buy it but depends if i can afford it.
The bag isn’t bad without the strips and the crystals. I agree with ANNA, if you get the chance to work with Swarovski, why not make small and glittry, not dark and ugly.
i actually like it. it’s simple but you see the rocks down the strap. you can wear the bag over your shoulder w/ casual clothes or dressy clothes.
NOPE. totally not feeling it. it looks so cheap.
