Lebanese designer Sarah Beydoun of Sarah’s Bag has created a harmless, medicinal way to enjoy Xanax. The handbag designer humorously mixes each pill-inspired purse in a quirky manner. This Fall/ Winter 2015 collection is ready for pre-order and each bag will retail over $1,500 — resulting in a much needed chill pill. Sarah's Bag's parody off of famous medicine like Xanax and Prozac. Handbags are hand appliquéd much like Olympia Le Tan's felt book-inspired clutches.
One can opt for a bag that reads, "Prozak: Feels Like Heaven Everyday" or "Xanaks: And The Living Is Easy." The play on words adds humor to the collection, making it stand out among the rest. The bags come in English, French and every clinical color under the rainbow.
