The Skin Bag is Morally Offensive

Superficially, an experiment in design, the SkinBag line of products uses synthetic human skin to produce bags, clothing, and accessories.


In reality, every item appears to have been flayed from the immaciated bodies of Jews.

Memories of Nazi Germany and lampshades made from human skin.

    Offensive yes, but a rather poignant and effective way to make commentary about leather and fur… disgusting is subjective, not absolute.

    One man’s rash is another man’s treasure.

    Its interesting that your mind would jump toward horrific moments in history instead of seeing something as it was intend. Art, or perhapes a fhashion statement as Mark Harrison said. Its also interesting that you would say “In realisty, …” as though you were trying to say that this is a fact, that the flesh was flayed from jews to be sewen into garments, or a purse.

    Sometimes you dont need to read so deeply into things.

  3. In this case, I think you do. Since, during the holocaust, lamp shades were made from the skin of the dead.

    One might consider calling the holocaust as Hitler’s art — I mean, he was an artist, after all.

    So, Adolf Hitler’s grand Opus was the Holocaust, but it is okay because it was art.

    People don’t think deeply enought, mate.
