...huge sack. Designers such as Balanciaga and Fendi have debuted entire lines of large and highly coveted bags. These bags’ distinguishing features, apart from size, generally reside in their embellishments.

Critics of the museum say her case is a symptom of a culture of mismanagement and excess, in which the head of the museum's trust allegedly used the institution as a piggy bank to, among other things, buy himself a $72,000 car. The Getty, it seems, may be melting down faster than it was built...
