We’ve all coveted purses made of pony hair and handbags crafted from rabbit fur. But what about the hair of a humble housecat? Danielle Groomer from South Carolina has cornered the market on these unique fur bags.
Cat groomer Danielle was bothered by the leftover cat hair she accumulated during her day. And so she decided to spin the unwanted fur into a “beautiful, smooth, silky yarn” to create handbags for each cat’s owner. The devoted pet lovers adore the purses which serve a dual purpose. They allow cat fans to carry a little piece of their prized pet every day, and are unique keepsakes when their kitty passes on.
It’s all strangely touching, and more than a little bit strange. I suppose it’s a little less creepy than the pet owners who stuff their furry friends when they die, but only just!
But at least no animals are harmed in the making of these handbags. Perhaps Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfield could learn a thing or two from this vid!
