How to Bootleg a Chanel Purse
(Free!) from The Counterfeit Crochet Project
This free crochet pattern is provided by The Counterfeit Crochet Project, an ongoing global project that encourages people to crochet their own hand-counterfeited designer handbags. The idea of crocheting a knock-off bag has many interesting implications and I would encourage you to visit their website to read up on the premise of the project and to see images of other finished products submitted by the collaborators of the project. You may not be able to afford a real Chanel purse, or even a "real" counterfeit, but a hook, some yarn, and general craftiness can go a long way.
Found by Don. Thanks!

I just love it so much, I wanted to get started right away...
But it seems the www.counterfeitcrochet.org web site is down!!!!!
Oh no - I hope it's only down temporarily. In the meantime here is the information on the artist's website http://www.stephaniesyjuco.com/p_counterfeit_crochet.html. Unfortunately, the patterns are linked to counterfeitcrochet.org but I found this from the folks at craftzine.com - http://www.craftzine-digital.com/craft/vol02/?pg=60&pm=2&u1=friend. I hope this helps!
