Cat Bags: Japanese Handmade Bags Feature Lifelike Cat Designs — Cute Or Creepy? (PHOTOS)

Unusually crafted cat bags are causing a ruckus among netizens. Designed by a Japanese housewife and artist named Pico, the bags come with cat features that look so lifelike, it will either delight or freak out cat lovers.

If you're concerned that cats were harmed while these handbags were being crafted, be assured by the fact that Pico only uses fake fur and plastic, according to InStyle. She patterned her cat bag designs after her own pets, according to the Huffington Post, and used spray paint for the final touches. Each cat bag comes with its own distinctive markings, just like a real cat!

One handbag sold for $700 on Yahoo! Auction Japan and there are still a few more bags left, according to Quirker.

The designer is looking to add more cat designs to her collection and is currently working on a bag with a masculine face, according to the Daily Mail.

Pico's handmade cat bags are receiving tons of retweets and shares on social media, generating a lot of potential sales. However, she indicated that the items are exclusive to her country only and she will not sell a bag to those outside of Japan, according to a Twitter post.
