"Together Bags," a series of lightweight canvas totes from the L.A.-based brand Thursday Friday, are emblazoned with an image of the Hermes Birkin from every angle (the bottom even has little studded feet printed on!) and are in such high demand that there's been a three month wait for 'em, according to company reps. Here's what they have to say about the bags: "We like the chic way into trends
Billige Nike Free Run, and we're into accessible high style. We go for products that are easy to acquire
Mulberry vesker norge, use, and personalize. Yeah, we're inspired by consumerism, class, and iconography

You can get your hands on one now for $35--some people have been hanging on since September, but the bags just started shipping today. What do you gals think of the "Together Bag"? Would you carry it around to show that you're a luxury lover, but that you can't quite afford the real thing yet? Or would you rather save up for the real thing? Do you think this is a cute and cheeky way to say "I will not be ripped off!" or a poseur-ish attempt at looking cool? Discuss!
