Lol!! That right! Our purses can still wear heels! lol! That is awful about Chinese using dog fur?? OMG!I sure will. These are made in Greece so it may take a little while for them to get here. I can't wait to feel them. I want real soft ones too so I will definitely post pics & give an opinion of them. If I really like them, I'll probably order a couple more! I didn't want the ones from China or Korea. You don't know what type of fur they use. I've read where they will claim it's such & such fur & it wound up being dog fur. That's a NO GO for me!!I've also been on Ebay looking at crystal shoe charms. I may not be able to wear the sky high heels anymore but that doesn't mean my purses can't!

Well...What do you expect. Some in China & Korea consider dog meat a delicacy as well as some in Indonesia. Not me!!! I don't eat dog & I'm not wearing one either!! :censor:

Not sure about using dog fur but I know it is illegal to eat dog meat in China and Korea.
Might be illegal but they still do it. There has become a large dog meat trade in certain parts of the world. There are a number of animal rights groups that are trying to put a stop to it.
I looked down at my lap at my 3 yr old "furbaby" napping when I read this dogeating/fur wearing conversation, I told her I would never eat her or wear her fur no matter how beautiful and soft it is LOL! She opened one eye and rolled over so I could scratch her fat little belly. I prefer my meat from the grocery store. Not roaming through the trash in some alleyway before its bashed in the head and served up with rice. That's awful.
Any pet of mine will NEVER be food. A friend was cleaning out her fish tank and she read somewhere that goldfish murk up the water so she tossed it in the trash. I saw red! I almost lost it. Couldn't believe someone could do that. Seriously though, I grew up watching 101 dalmatians. Cruella will always be evil, not fashionable!
On a side note, has anyone scratched their leather accidently with these bag charms?
Nope, I always run my fingers along the sides, edges etc... if anything feels sharp I take my nail buffer to it, just try not to knock off stones and such and go SLOW. This works on metal and plastic. I put charms on my hammie traveler and you know what that leather is like. Your fingers will tell you where a problem spot is located.
I can't find the bunny ones only these

I love animals, especially dogs. I cannot even wrap my head around making one a meal.
I read an article about the Chinese fur trade about 3 yrs ago & it talked about how they would use dog fur to make coats, collars, cuffs, ect & claim it's raccoon or fox or some other fur & ship these items overseas. It went into depth about seizing some of these suspected illegal shipments here in the US & having DNA testing of some sort on the fur & it was found to be canine. 
The article warned about buying fur from Asia. I also read an article last year about the dog meat trade that is going on in Asia. I've signed several petitions from animal groups trying to stop this trade. I just don't understand this practice. 
I have 2 grown Rottweilers & am currently fostering 2 Rottweiler puppies that were rescued from a high kill shelter. Now I do own a fur collar & two fur hats but they came from Russia & were bought in the 80's. I researched the pom pom charms & chose the ones from Greece. There are hundreds of ones from China & Korea on Ebay. I'll pass on them because I don't trust them.
That's a great tip, Baglady!!
I've also ordered a couple of high heel shoe charms & a couple of other crystal charms. I'll be sure to check them out like you said & use my buffer before I put them on a bag!!!
Hmm I think I might have seen one or two that looked like that. I will browse again. Thanks!
I have mace but it would be my luck the wind would blow it into my face and the jerk would just laugh and "walk" away with my purse LOL!! It would be youtube worthy!! Me screaming on the ground? I would rather be able to stab and run!
