Not saying this is fake, but it's a crime that they made a bag out of unborn carf.

There are quite a few listings that say that, must be some weird translation.
I've so many questions! :wtf: But I think Muchstuff is right, it's probably a mistranslation...
Not sure whether the fur on these bags is actually from unborn calf or just a regular goat or cow pelt that's been shaved down, which is more typically referred to as "pony fur"… but, yeah… unborn calf (and lamb, and prob other) hide is definitely a thing. :hrmm:

No, really?
 
Yup. Also called “slink”. Can refer to different kinds of animals, leather or fur, but same theme. Premature or unborn.
Yeah... I'm not vegan and not particularly maternal, but why would someone do that?? Isn't regular leather good enough? I get that the animals themselves probably wouldn't care all that much when exactly they're killed, but this is just unnecessary. :(
