Fendi Skunk Fur Peekaboo Roll Bag
Anyone up for a skunk fur leather bag? Umm… no thank you. I apologize to any fans of this particular bag, but I’m morbidly shocked at how horrid this handbag is. Did the House of Fendi seriously have to ‘kill’ (no pun intended) the classic look of its latest Peekaboo tote by throwing on a pelt of skunk fur onto this bag? If they sought to create a classy rich leather bag adored in an exotic choice of fur, I say they failed miserably. Besides the not so attractive furry bag appearance, I can’t decide if I dislike this bag for the fact that’s it’s sporting a dead skunk on it or because it’s made out of skunk! Right off the bat, there’s an unattractive feeling towards this bag filled with reminders of how bad skunks really do smell. I say Fendi should leave the rodents to American Folk leader Davy Crockett to wear, as he was possibly the only person who could have pulled this look off.
I can honestly say that for once, anti-fur and fur industry supporters unite and agree that this Fendi piece sure does stink!

Uhhm, just nay. This bag just doesn’t look very attractive to me.
I like the style, not the fur though.
This bag sure does stink.
This bag is called the skunk? Wow, this is horrid.
I actually like this bag.
This is so ugly. I am sorry. Is that an actual skunk?
I think the style of the bag is amazing, just without all that fur.
Skunk was actually the most popular fur, after muskrat, at the turn of the 20th century. All the fashionable ladies had some.
As the owner of a lush chevron striped skunk cape (from Saks also -but second hand) I have to say it is a very soft and striking fur. It is not “smelly road kill” as too many people today see it. It is just as valuable of a fur source as any other pelt, and frankly unusual and welcome, in my opinion.
Behold the beautiful rodent! Don’t be hatin’ the humble little skunk just because you may have seen one dead in the road. If you lived where minks (or cows?) were run over often, then you would think differently of them as well, I guess.
