Stephanie Pratt and the Hard-to-Find Gerard Darel Purple Suede Fringe Hobo

Sunday, April 11, 2010 • by Erika

A lot of Stephanie Pratt’s paparazzi pictures are of her on the set of the reality TV show “The Hills”, filming “The Hills”, and basically doing everything revolving around “The Hills”. It doesn’t matter if the show’s become irrelevant, its popularity has gone way down, and even the main star has completely severed herself from the show, it’s Stephanie Pratt’s claim to fame so ratings, relevancy, and self-respect be damned.

Anyway, I’m only here to talk about the gorgeous Gerard Darel fringe hobo that she’s been seen toting around on the set of “The Hills”. I last saw it nearly 4 months ago in December 2009 and it just recently came up again in Stephanie Pratt’s April 9 candids:

Oh and these are the pictures where I saw the Gerard Darel fringe hobo originally. The first one was taken in December 2009 as I said, and the second one is a paparazzi picture dated January 15, 2010:

I guess you won’t notice that parts of this scene were filmed months apart from each other once it’s edited, but when you put the two pictures side by side, you’ll notice the little changes in Stephanie’s hair and makeup.

Anyway, back to more important things like the Gerard Darel fringe hobo:

The French label Gerard Darel is notoriously difficult to find outside of France. There are some online stores that carry Gerard Darel, but their stocks are very limited and the fly off the shelves so quickly. Some celebrity fans like Eva Longoria have reportedly flown to Paris just so she could shop for Gerard Darel pieces herself.

If you can’t find Gerard Darel handbags anywhere like a lot of people, there are always alternatives – cheaper ones at that – of course. Here are 3 purple fringe hobo bags, 2 which are also made of purple suede:
