Would you want to carry a purse by a brand whose name basically means "low class hoochie?" If so, Concubine Bags are on Beyond the Rack right now. It kind of reminds us of when Reebok introduced a women's aerobic shoe called the Incubus, and then yanked it off the market a week later once executives discovered what the word meant. Ironically, the bags are on the cutesy side; much more a "trollop" than a "concubine," we think. [Beyond the Rack]
