Twilly's & Scarves Wrapped Around Handles: Tacky and Childish

This (not so) new trend is the ultimate in tacky.  Does anyone honestly think that Grace Kelly or Jane Birkin would ever wrap the handles of their bags? Not in your lifetime.
And what's with hanging all this childish garbage all over the bag? Since when do four year-old's own a $10,000 handbag? When did these bags become toys? Seems like a gimmick for Hermes (and other luxury goods companies) to sell wildly over-priced silliness.
