I’m wondering what the thought process behind this purse was. Why would you desecrate grandma’s lovely embroidered purse with clearly-not-actually-leopard-fur? I mean, who’s going to believe that anyone went to the trouble to kill a leopard just to have it sewn onto a purse that is simply not leopard-appropriate? I may be missing some steps in the fur trade process, but you get the idea.
Wait, that is, like, just dyed rabbit fur, right? Or dyed faux fur? They uh…they don’t actually use leopard fur, right?
RIGHT?

Oh my god. Really? More carpet? Like, legit carpet. They probably recycled the carpet from motels they had to tear down because the 80s were over. So, that’s good I guess?

And these are the last carpet-shoes I’m posting, I promise. It’s just, why is this a thing?
