Marc Jacobs and Giles Deacon for Mulberry gets banned at Heathrow
24th September, 2007 - By Helen LeePosted in Accessories, Gossip
We’ve all heard about the drama surrounding Marc Jacobs recent spring 2008 show, and still the designers designs can seem to cut a break. Fully Chic is reporting that British customs seized a black patent vinyl Marc Jacobs handbag charm in the shape of a gun. It measured 14cm long, and was seized because “it contravened some new terrorism law.” Apparently a Giles Deacon for Mulberry bag charm shaped as a mace was also seizure in a separate incident.
First our handbags supply of lip glosses are to be held in a small clear baggy, along with other beauty essentials for a long haul international flight, now our designer bag charms are coming under inspection? It’s a good thing that when I went to the US last month I had no bag charms on my Chloe bag then. Not that I own a gun shaped or mini mace bag charm. One can dream.

I could understand why they might have been a little wary of the Giles Deacon for Mulberry bag charm, but a patent leather bag charm? Really!

Cant say I’ve ever lusted after a mace or gun shaped bag charm but isn’t this taking things a little to far…mind you that mace compared to some things you cant take on flights is a lethal weapon.
