Default What is with
purses that are made out of fur? I was at the maxx today and there were a lot of bags by this designer that i can not recall that the outside was all in fur! What do you think of this?

I know what you mean, I was there the other day and I saw lots of them. I have to say though that there are a couple of bags that I do in fact like.

They can be cute - but I don't do high maintenance.

Not with boyfriends, and not with bags.

ITA! It seems like it'd be a PITA to care for, not to mention some of them feel prickly. Not nice on a bag at all. Especially since prickly furs can poke you through a shirt or something (I have a dog who has rather coarse fur so yeah. I know. XD )

Real or fake, I just don't understand why bags need to be covered by fur....

I saw a hideous fur bag (real or not I don't know) that looked like a skunk walk past today. It was great.

I have a dog. That's enough fur for me.

Yes, but can he carry your keys and lipstick without getting them all slobbery?


(Personally, I think fur should stay on the animal. The harvesting of that fur is truly horrible.)

Actually there's quite a blob of animal on your LV avatar also assuming it's not a fake.

If this is going to turn into yet another discussion on fur... There are lots of threads already.. -_-

Okay, you win. He could carry them in his stomach when he eats them, though! And he would!!

Pretty rude comment there. And what's the point in commenting "if it's not a fake". People are allowed to express their opinion here in a civil manner last time I checked. And I agree, the fur bags do look like a "blob" of animal.
