Rick Yune, the actor who portrayed gangster Johnny Tran in the movie The Fast and The Furious, is being sued by a UK couple for ripping them off for almost $300k. This is a weird story that doesn't really make much sense.

Supposedly Yune did a deal with the couple from London. He would sell them a total of 10 Hermes Birkin handbags for a total of $385,000. The deal was to be in two parts, in part one, the couple paid $290,000 and Yune was to deliver 8 of the bags. Well, they claim to have paid the money but they didn't receive the bags and Yune is keeping their money.

The couple says they wired the money and Yune claims he delivered the bags to their representative.

Marc Jacobs Sends Dr. Seus Down the Runway

Marc Jacobs is known for putting on very entertaining fashion shows and at this year's Fashion Week he didn't disappoint. His over the top 2012 line seems to have been influenced by Dr. Seus, Charles Dickens and even Lewis Carroll at least the Tim Burton version of Lewis Carroll.

Crazy hats, huge fur covered bags, oversized buttons plenty of pinks, purples reds and greens. It feels like we've slipped through the rabbit hole. Hidden within all of the outrageousness, Jacobs did have a few actual wearable styles. The pea coats and stoles are interesting and cute. It was just so hard to see anything other than those crazy furry hats.

Crafted from luxurious leather this bag is convertible from a satchel to a cross-body bag by simply adding a strap which can adjusted with a buckle. There are outside pockets with zippers for stashing smaller stuff like a small set of keys or an MP3 player. Naturally it has the Rebecca Minkoff Signature plaque.

Protective metal foot base to keep the leather off of the floor and a zippered top closure to keep your things safely tucked inside. Plus inside you'll find slip and zipper pockets for a variety of uses.

It's available for $395 from Zappos.com and aside from the color pictured here, it is also available in Coral or Denim. Personally I love the textured look of this bag. Functional and gorgeous.
