Francesca Eastwood is receiving death threats over burned birkin bag


Clint Eastwood's daughter has been bombarded with vicious online death threats after she publicly demolished a $100,000 Birkin bag in the name of art, TMZ has learned.

Francesca Eastwood, star of "Mrs. Eastwood and Company," and her BF Tyler Shields took a chain saw to the pricey bag and then LIT IT ON FIRE .... which has angered dozens of fashionistas (and many who are just economically challenged).

Eastwood has been receiving death threats via Twitter and Facebook, such as:

-- "Some of us actually have to work and live check 2 check, spoiled rotten bitch to burn 100k bag."
-- "You’re a stupid whore. How f***ing dumb can you be."
-- "You should kill urself, ungrateful bitch – wasted money when families can't eat."


Sources close to Francesca tell us ... the 19-year-old said she knew people would be shocked, but never expected this level of hatred. We're told she's been telling friends ... people just don't understand art.

Haha, I think the Balenciagas are ugly too. I just don't get them. $2K is okay for me too, but Chanel starts at $3-4K which is ridiculous when their quality has decreased for every year. For Chanel, I think getting vintage or gently used older models are a much better buy. My newest bag is actually Celine :P But don't worry, it's not one of the hideous 3 color bags, lol. It's a small horizontal cabas and with a practical zipper! I don't like bags that are open because it's like an invitation for theft. For Celine is was actually reasonably priced - under $1K and it's really lovely lambskin.

I think, MJ borders between cute and kitsch but his diffusion line is of poor quality. His main line is ridiculously priced, but so is most main line designer collections. Balmain is the worst of them all.

The one she was looking at was this (the real version of course lol):



She kept asking me for my opinion and I was like "uh, if you like it....". Eventually she decided she didnt like it and didnt buy it because of the colors. Now this...



...I wouldn't mind carrying lol. That's awesome that you have one of those bags! Smart choice; that's one of the true luxury, rare bag lines. The cabas ones are really pretty too. I had no idea they had any bags under $1k, that three color one was $3k.

I saw some Chanel bags that were like $2600, it was a really cute one too.

Don't get me started on balmain lol, I have no idea why people lose their minds over that ish. It's like overglorified baby phat imo.

OMG, I just can't with those weirdly coloured Luggage totes. It just looks even more like a face on the bag!

I don't buy bags that are overexposed. Yes, I'm a snob like that, lol. It's just that, when I'm paying so much money, I don't want to see "my" bag hanging off every girl on the street. That is after all why we pay more for luxury goods - the exclusivity.

Ahhh flawless taste! That was exactly the bag model and colour that made me interested in Celine! Ultimately, I decided not to get it because I feel like everyone has it now. Also, it's too heavy for me. I like totes for school/work so I carry a lot in them - that plus the added weight of a heavy bag is too much for me. I also like the Cabas but they are really big. The small model is perfection for me, the price also helps, hah. I was so relieved when I found out the model was quite a bit cheaper than the normal sized ones!

I love the new Chanel Boy bags - smooth leather, not the quilted but the prices are ridic. I can't afford it.

I wouldn't buy a high end it bag either. My taste in bags rarely lines up with what's popular anyways lol. Where I am no one even knows what Celine is anyways, lol, let alone wears it, so someone could get away with it here.

The quilted boy bags are really cute! But $4300, wow lol...

Hehe, then you could get away with it. It's a gorgeous bag so go for it when you can!

The quilted ones are OK, lol. But I think the smooth ones are the best, unfortunately they don't make them anymore (at least in non-patent leather). I think they had some quality issues with the first batch. I know, the prices... rme.

Gurl I need a new car, iphone and laptop....no $3k bag in my near future LOL.

You have the wrong priorities! :P :P JK, I totally get it. Right after buying my Celine, my laptop decided to act up, rme. So typical.

That's seriously my biggest fear about buying a designer bag...that I'll get one and then soon after I'll find out I have mold or some rare disease or something...
