Italian fashion house Borbonese has teamed up with the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation for its Art Bag Anniversary Collection.

There are twelve different bags in the collection including clutch purses and large totes. The styles are simple, with minimalist hardware and traditional shapes. That allows the screenprinted Lichtenstein prints to take center stage, but it also makes me question the value of these bags. An authentic Lichtenstein painting will sell for millions, but does that make this simple Two Apples Tote bearing the pop artist's design worth $787?

Sure the trim is actual leather, and it's got an Italian pedigree, but I frankly can't see the value. If you're still smitten you can score this bag and others in the collection at Luisa Via Roma's online store.
