Any Dave Chappelle fans out there? For those of you who are fans, you understood the title of this post and maybe even laughed a little. For those who didn’t get it … Who cares! The real focus here is this amazing bag by JJ Winters (as seen on stars like Vanessa Hudgens, Hilary Duff, Paris Hilton, Blake Lively, Miley Cyrus, Sienna Miller and Lindsay Lohan.)

This zippered hobo combines the softness of suede with the edginess of exposed zippers (and lots of em.) Of course the zippers aren’t completely functional, but really what is truly functional when it comes to fashion? Don’t answer that. The zipper trend doesn’t end at this bag for fall 09.  You will be seeing zippers on jewelry, jeans and pants, dresses and more. In fact, I did a little trend alert about zippers a few months back.

So, if you are convinced of the trend and this bag, but are unsure of how to wear it … check out this outfit idea:
