PETA is at it again, and their latest famous targets are Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The twin designers have raised the ire of the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals with one of their most recent creations, a fur backpack valued at nearly $17,000.
The bag in question is for their luxury fashion line, The Row, and it’s made out of patches of animal fur.
While some fashion insiders may be fans of the furry handbag, PETA decidedly is not. “If it looks like a troll and acts like a troll, it’s probably a Trollsen Twin – or someone wearing one of their new $16,000 totes, which are made from the fur and skins of innocent animals,” PETA said in a statement. “What the Olsens lack in creativity, they try to make up for in shock value,” PETA went further to say “Sadly, it’s the foxes, calves, and alligators—who often have the fur ripped off them while they are still conscious and able to feel pain—who pay the dearest price.”
