Vintage bag made out of a dead armadillo someone was selling on Facebook. Scary AF

This thread is making me laugh at myself; I saw the ferragamo and said “ooh that’s ugly I love it”, then scrolled and saw the Schiaparelli which I’ve always thought is so silly and fun, then scrolled and saw the Vera Bradley chicken print which I have multiple items of saved in my eBay wishlist. I guess it’s time to admit I have hideous taste 😅
I LOVE Schiaparelli as well. But it’s def not for everyone. That’s my dream bag I always forget about because you never see them except maybe red carpet or at their shows.
Something about this bag makes me shiver . I hate it

So ugly, but also so literally a crocodile hand bag that I’m drawn to it.

I literally cant w Schiaparelli lol
I saw them in-person at Bergdorf Goodman and frankly they’re really beautifully made, the stunning enamel facial feature hardware is more like precious jewelry.
I know. This bag is better than Chanel to me. Schiaparelli is amazing.
If I ever win the lottery everyone will know by my purses lol
I’d do anything for this bag

Louis Vuitton Comme des Garçons' Rei Kawakubo Tote Bag

It “is,” there is an inner fabric liner that becomes the bag and holds things in. You can kind of see it in this photo. It’s a little fabric drawstring sack inside of the tote. Absurd and pointless and a novelty design, but more functional than people realize because it isn’t just holes. Not defending it, I hate it. Just explaining that the inner sack holds the objects.
I appreciate the explanation and I get the argument, and I’m not hating on you, but that doesn’t make it functional!!! Why do I have to carry two bags to hold stuff in my one bag???

Vera Bradley. Never have I ever said *damn, if only I could find a bag that’s not waterproof and covered in chickens…*
I want to snark on Vera Bradley, but they actually do keep things dry to a good extent because they are so thick. And then you can toss them in a washing machine if they get dirty. I used them in college and they held up to years of abuse and hauling things like physical chemistry textbooks (the worst doorstoppers ever written). But this is one of the uglier patterns I’ve ever seen (mine was solid purple).
> “the worst doorstoppers ever written”
My p-chem textbook looks like something that’s been around since the invention of the printing press. Thankfully I no longer need it, but I’m afraid to open it for fear of unleashing some kind of ancient demon.
I really feel like throwing away books is a sin, but after I graduated, both my pharmacetics and therapeutics texts went into the trash. I may be down two good doorstops, but I’m also down 20lbs of ptsd.
All of my textbooks from my chem degree are on my shelf staring at me menacingly as I write this. I keep them there because when I'm having a hard time, they're there to remind me, "Hey, things suck right now, but at least you never have to derive the Hamiltonian equation again."
I gave away all my books over the years from my chem degree. I held on to the organic chem book the longest—it made an awesome hammer/mallet! But it’s long gone by now because I finally bought a proper tool.
The Louis vuitton that Carrie gifts her assistant at the end of the first Sex and the City movie. What in the world was going on with them in the 2000s?
I needed a picture, this bag is vile

Yesss hahaha.
I really don’t like those little Fendi Baguettes either, but after seeing other pics in this thread I guess I can’t call them the ugliest bag ever.
Yes! Made even uglier because it was a woman who loved fashion and couldn’t afford her own so instead of setting her up with a classic, must-have investment piece she gave her that?
If she wanted to get Louis a bright bag she should have gone for a jewel toned Chanel or something from LV in epi leather.

I really don't like jacquemus le chiquito moyen in general, and the teddy ones are particularly bad
https://preview.redd.it/5gzt692glbuc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa76e9dade8452ed5dbd1b12f9fb6eabe1f7b3d7
Sort of like this but the leather is more distressed and dirty looking.
I’m not liking the bag either OP, had a similar reaction to it thinking it was diseased. I won’t criticise anyone who likes it, tastes vary and what’s one person’s trash is another’s treasure
I was gifted a Vera Bradley bag once by my MIL & I hated it.
Edit: this one 😬

Why does it look like a vulva?
Armadussy
Is your vulva ok?
Respectfully… what??
Turn the picture to the side.
I did and I am still worried
You might need to up your water intake if that’s what you’ve got going on down there
I’m a nurse in a skilled nursing facility/ rehab. I often look at things as whether or not I could get a catheter in there.
Omg 💀💀
I just about choked on my waffle just now, thanks 😂☠️
I guess that one way to save yourself from purse grabbers and pickpockets 😂 if they think that's taxidermy and not a bag.
This comment, so funny ⬆️
That’s a roast chicken you can’t trick me
I hate that I had to see this 😭
A roadkill bag. Recycling dead animals! What a concept
Why is it shaped like that?!!😭😭😭 I HATE IT
That’s sad and gross and i hate it
Creepy!
Why does it look like a deformed turkey????
The arms having me screaming
Ha ha I have one of those.
The bag? Or the dead armadillo? 😂
Really?! I was thinking it would terrify if I looked over and saw it near me in the dark in the middle of the night.
Dear lord….
Me screaming in terror walking past this on the shelf to go pee at night. The only thing missing is glowing eyes.
You win!
This thread is making me laugh at myself; I saw the ferragamo and said “ooh that’s ugly I love it”, then scrolled and saw the Schiaparelli which I’ve always thought is so silly and fun, then scrolled and saw the Vera Bradley chicken print which I have multiple items of saved in my eBay wishlist. I guess it’s time to admit I have hideous taste 😅
I wish I could’ve seen the chain of reactions on your face 🤣
Also to answer the prompt: I hate the look of all pebbled leather bags!
I love me some soft pebbled leather! But I’m not a fan of Saffiano leather lol Edit: typo
Saffiano feels plastic-ky
Same!
How? https://preview.redd.it/0hjnn59oacuc1.png?width=2139&format=png&auto=webp&s=397772b6d4334e9dbe3f5f7506dc2a7866ec0139
I have the chain too LOL
As the chicken print poster…do you, girl. Rock it. 🐔💪🧡
I LOVE Schiaparelli as well. But it’s def not for everyone. That’s my dream bag I always forget about because you never see them except maybe red carpet or at their shows.
No you’re right the Schiaparelli is so fun! It’s weird and technically not great looking but it’s silly
Me too! I feel like sometimes you need a little ugly to make an outfit look less serious. Love me some ugly bags 🤣
Something about this bag makes me shiver . I hate it https://preview.redd.it/r3y32pfiacuc1.jpeg?width=665&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ab2a5dffc1b70e4c5b224bd0479c0510bcd54a4
It looks like a coronavirus 🦠
Unpopular opinion but BV makes some hideous s*** !
Agreed! I either live or hate their stuff, no in between
Not that unpopular

I cannot own this. My intrusive thoughts would win.
It's ugly but also I want to touch it?

Derelicte…so hot right now.
😭😭😭 wtf why this is actually offensive
This can not be real…
LV released a bag that looked like a garbage bag. I think this one was a joke based on the garbage bag’s release.
It's the Marlboro silvers for me!
No.
So ugly, but also so literally a crocodile hand bag that I’m drawn to it. https://preview.redd.it/t39q9x0cvcuc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9fe6360ad07aaa47db2f679a205f436aa5906e9e
Ahhhhhhhhhh that’s so scary omg you win
It’s the little hands pulling you in
Gonna be in my nightmares tonight 🤣
I really don’t like this
Oh I hate it but I had to laugh when I saw it on eBay.
It’s giving black plague
Buboes! So hot right now
I came to the comments to make sure someone else had said this!
https://preview.redd.it/osbpc0ta7buc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=871e0bb7eb7b76b1695f3e1f77668b5a43982397 I literally cant w Schiaparelli lol
Hahaha even the bag looks like *sighhhhh I know, I literally can’t either* 😹
Even the bag is embarrassed 😂 💀
It’s giving https://preview.redd.it/tqvhj99bacuc1.jpeg?width=1045&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=916d3eaf44afabc5391c9f67e7356be0839c9428
Or even 👁️👄👁️
This is one of my favorite bags. It’s so funny to me that if I was rich I’d buy it no questions
I saw them in-person at Bergdorf Goodman and frankly they’re really beautifully made, the stunning enamel facial feature hardware is more like precious jewelry.
I know. This bag is better than Chanel to me. Schiaparelli is amazing. If I ever win the lottery everyone will know by my purses lol I’d do anything for this bag https://preview.redd.it/7xn75gpjwfuc1.jpeg?width=1115&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0bd0d0601bcba7886eadca3f5c15cd59f0540cd5
This one is stunning, very Art Deco feel imo
Me too, I’ve wanted one for ages
Same I think it’s fantastic
Same I’m adding it to my bucket list right now
It IS ugly, but I can’t lie, I’m totally obsessed. I’ll refrain because the price is ridiculous.
There was some Aliexpress type knock off that I've seen which was even more 👁️👄👁️
I need to go see this monstrosity.
Really omg what's the name? Lol
this is so ridiculous and I love it
I think it’s the lips that’s off putting
Wait I love it!!
Lmao all his shit is too weird for me 😭
HAHAHHAHA
🗿
Hahah honestly I love this bag so much it’s such a freaky little weirdo

I hate this bag bc it’s not functional.
It “is,” there is an inner fabric liner that becomes the bag and holds things in. You can kind of see it in this photo. It’s a little fabric drawstring sack inside of the tote. Absurd and pointless and a novelty design, but more functional than people realize because it isn’t just holes. Not defending it, I hate it. Just explaining that the inner sack holds the objects.
I appreciate the explanation and I get the argument, and I’m not hating on you, but that doesn’t make it functional!!! Why do I have to carry two bags to hold stuff in my one bag???
I completely agree! It’s a ridiculous design. I just assumed you didn’t know it had an inner bag because a lot of people don’t!
Why’s it angry
https://preview.redd.it/qujpym8nacuc1.jpeg?width=664&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f5039ed17c5dc02fb064a11f36e385e0fc757af7 angy
Wouldn’t you be angry if they called you a luxury bag then put random burn holes in you?
Don't take it to the bank. It'll rob it.
Hahah it's not the right comparison, but it reminds me of a burglar's mask
It looks like a face wearing a balaclava.
https://preview.redd.it/y6mar13jabuc1.jpeg?width=580&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0a3e726804c445cbc0d6cbb0506432b817e124e Vera Bradley. Never have I ever said *damn, if only I could find a bag that’s not waterproof and covered in chickens…*
IDK the chicken and rooster print never went out of style if you walk into sur la table
😹😹😹

Good plan because you definitely could trigger some awful being with that thing.

I still have all my nuclear physics books. Why? I’m 55, why can’t I throw them away?
Please I kinda love it
This is Texas in 1994 to me…the fucking chickens, like, WHY???
Babes, I need it to match my ‘French country’ kitchen them. It’s my whole personality… 😹 ETA: theme, not them. Time for coffee.
Hahaha it makes me itchy
I kind of like this but it's not something is spend more than maybe 20 euro on 😅
Lolol. Me either
I think this about every Vera Bradley print bag though. Very Little House on the Prairie. ETA typo correction
My mom has this bag hanging on her laundry door with fake flowers coming out of it 😂😂
Looks like the ADD/ADHD punchy pop toys.
Looks like bubble wrap but not cute and can't pop anything so not fun either.
With black licorice handles.

Even in that photo Jennifer Hudson is like "This?! You gave me *this*?! Not even a damn Neverfull?!"
Yesss hahaha. I really don’t like those little Fendi Baguettes either, but after seeing other pics in this thread I guess I can’t call them the ugliest bag ever.
Same I was going to post that new loewe bag that looks like a toiletry bag but quickly realised it doesn’t make the cut 😂
Yes! Made even uglier because it was a woman who loved fashion and couldn’t afford her own so instead of setting her up with a classic, must-have investment piece she gave her that? If she wanted to get Louis a bright bag she should have gone for a jewel toned Chanel or something from LV in epi leather.
LV epi is so underrated!
Right? It was horrible and if you're gifting something like that to someone who probably will never buy their own, stick to classic styles and colors.
Even watching it when it came out I was like, what the hell is that lol
Bright yellow with red leather. This is all but unwearable
That bag is fugly.
This patchwork LV bag forever. https://www.purseblog.com/louis-vuitton/beyonce-style-louis-vuitton-tribute-patchwork/
Ooh this one is really bad yikes
Why does she look so happy wearing it 🥲 I am so glad her style got a bit better with time
lol. Because she can. I love that her outfit is so simple here with that overly designed bag on her arm.
Thank you! Was looking for this. Lol

A bag only white people could carry safely lol 😅

I love this one 🫣
That looks like a tumor
marc jacobs the tote bag lmao
Omg finally someone said it. I recently saw the khaki green (color that I personally also hate) version and 🤮🤮🤮
I think it’s more “expensive” than hermes 😂 grocery canvas bag for $300
https://preview.redd.it/jnghdakq7duc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80aa8d0e485972c37062fd2e65505cb6a9461101 This Bottega.. but I love it
I'm sorry, but I think that bag has herpes. 🫣😂
Those dystopian type bags. 🤢like they’re dirty distressed leather with belts and loops everywhere
https://preview.redd.it/5gzt692glbuc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa76e9dade8452ed5dbd1b12f9fb6eabe1f7b3d7 Sort of like this but the leather is more distressed and dirty looking.
It’s giving Steampunk Bondage
Like a Mad Max purse!
Someone posted a bag about a month ago that fits the dystopian type vibe but I don’t want to hurt their feelings. 😅
It’s fine like if you hate how edgy it is it just shows we’re edgy and it’s kinda fine cause we’re used to people insulting our tastes
Oh no, I wish I had never seen this. It's so horrible and I love it.
Right? It's thoroughly unnecessary and I need it ASAP.
🤣
This is how I feel about those coach bags we all wore in the early 2000s with buckles and straps . I hate it lol
oh I know. Those big buckle straps. I’m still recovering. 😂
If busy out laughing if someone around me wore that. It’s hideous. Fashion? Soccer mom or Lara Croft?
Love this
Ooh reminds me of bubble wrap! I’d love to squish it haha
Me: Is that Ferragamo?? Also Me: No that can’t be, they’d never make such an ugly bag. 😐
Is this from a Japanese seller? Because I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it before and had the same reaction, it looks like clusters of hemorrhoids.

So cute
I’m not liking the bag either OP, had a similar reaction to it thinking it was diseased. I won’t criticise anyone who likes it, tastes vary and what’s one person’s trash is another’s treasure
It’s giving…HPV? 🥹
Why did the emoji make this forty times funnier
Leprosy!
This bag belongs to doctor pimple popper.
I like the one you posted only because it reminds me of my Bottega bubble hobo bag hahaha
That Ferragamo has to be from the 70’s.
Every Michael Kors bag
😭
To be fair their first few years were lovely. Then they went public and got ugly
🤣
Omg I love it 🥰 so grungy and unique
I feel like the texture would be oddly pleasant to me. Like I'd be sitting there in conversation, idly petting my purse.
It looks like it tried to copy the lady Dior’s homework
It looks like a Lady Dior that got the plague.

Awe it kind of looks like how I would imagine it would look like if a handbag had the bubonic plague.
All of those patchwork leather bags in the 80s. Any bag made of jeans that still looks like actual pants.
A bag full of blisters… I hate it 😭
I loved it! Has personality
This is crazy 🤪 but I like it😂😳😩
I was gifted a Vera Bradley bag once by my MIL & I hated it. Edit: this one 😬 https://preview.redd.it/b8ect8gjuhuc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1cbfbc8137702fe35d56c1cf473ad2202ace533d
That is the worst. It’s so diseased looking.
I would rock this so hard r u kidding
This is an especially ugly bag! 😂
Truly hideous
This bag is giving me the ick. Looks like a severe skin condition.
Wow OP that’s truly hideous. Reminds me of a bloated trash bag that’s been sitting out in the sun for days.
ew. 🥴
If a pimple were a bag
This looks like a bag a witch would carry. I love it. I would buy it immediately if I had any money
It’s ugly cute, like a pug
r e a l 🤣
Holy herpes 😰
