Face it, it was only a matter of time. Bags that can go for thousands of dollars are bound to be targetted for all the ones who want the real thing and nothing else.
In London, England on December 30th, two teenage guys riding on mopeds decided to smash the Marc Jacobs window on Mount Street to reach and grab whatever goodies were on display. They didn't succeed...but did hours later when they did the same thing to another store on Mount Street (probably Brown's, but the name can't be released).
Alexander McQueen is the latest victim of the fashion thieves. However, this time they broke in to McQueen's East End headquarters, stealing computers and handbag samples from the fall 2008 season. A spokeswomen says the break in wasn't a major one, and the computers they stole were actually the "wrong ones" to steal, as in they didn't have any critical secretive ridiculously awesome designs or information that McQueen is/will use. Well thanks heaveens.
Since the beginning of last year, London stores including Marc Jacobs, Asprey, Roger Vivier, Luella, Brora, Anya Hindmarch, Sonia Rykiel and Frost French have been ransacked by thieves on mopeds. Police say it's a total of 32 this year.
gooodnesss.
