Large troddel by Carolyn Massey, $160.00 at Opening Ceremony. What the hell is a troddel?  A quick googling brought me to WWII era German bayonet accessories, which scared the shit out of little Jewish me.  Further googling, however, lead to me realizing that “troddel” was simply German for “tassel”.  So, I guess I overreacted on the purpose of the “troddel”.  It is useless.  It is an ornamental tchotchke to throw on your purse or keychain.  A bauble that costs 160 bucks.

Cotton Pom Pom keyring by Lanvin, $235.00 at Net-a-Porter. If you thought that last post was a poor attempt to use up all the scraps from other designs, then you are in for a treat.  This pom pom key chain takes shreds of fabric, presumably from actual designs, ties them in a ball, and sticks them on a metal keyring.  Viola, three hundred bucks of fashion.
