Fashion and Food

[MetsFan5]

 Is a “thing” right now in the fashion world. I just bought this key chain because it can hold a dog poop bag and is cute:

Judith Leiber is famous for her unique handbags, which are often food items such as this:

More consumer friendly designers are also jumping on the trend:

Not sure how to properly post these links, my apologies.

Bags and other items like these have beeen around for years in China and Japan. Nothing new.

 

 

 

Two images I happened to save. Can't remember why but I know it was about two years ago and they weren't new then.

I didn't buy this one. Can't think why?

 

 

Any of these would be OK

Are these sold internationally? Some of them would be great to put on a luggage tag!

You’re all right, it isn’t new aka the “Meat Dress” 

[MetsFan5]

However I think designers are getting a bit campy with the food themed accessories worn by people who are likely on the ozempic train. 
 

Instead of eating what you’d want, just wear accessories if the foods people deny themselves. It’s a conundrum.

I don't know, but the images are from a wholesaler's catalogue. There is a minimum order of 50 for some of them, so I suppose if someone wanted to buy / sell them internationally, it would be possible.

omg I need that meat bag.

The plastic bags of roast chook served up by grocery stores are known as "batchelor's handbags" here.

This is a Fendi “bag charm”. It takes me back to playing the same game about predictions while laying on a jungle gym in the sun as a kid. 
 

  I likely will not buy it, I have never bought a bag  charm but it is tempting

 I also saw a post on Reddit that was an actual baguette where the crust of the bread was somehow preserved and coated in some type of polymer (I’m guessing) that is sold out in various countries for about $3500. 
 

 I’ll keep looking for it. I like nice things but the day I would even spend a cent to make something like this? Sign me up! 🤣
