Most people associate Jimmy Choo with stunning sandals and heels, but every designer makes mistakes. There are so many horrible elements to the Whipstitched Fur Crossbody bag, we're just going to start listing them off.

1. Raccoon tails. Plural. Because the tail of one nighttime bandit is not enough, Jimmy Choo has used a whole family of raccoons to uglify your bag and pick up lint and debris wherever you go.
2. The twisted rope serving as a strap. It should be holding back fancy drapes.
3. We count six tassels. There may be more!
4. Somewhere buried beneath this mess is lizard skin. More beautiful wildlife destroyed for a useless purpose.
5. The bag is only 6" x 6" making it not only cruel and hideous but also impractical.

The bag is on sale (no surprise there) for $1,336 marked down from $1,995 at Neiman Marcus. We can't think of anyone who would carry this thing. Can you?
