Cat lovers looking for a super unique hand bag will be thoroughly impressed by these super realistic cat fashion bags.
Each bag is a custom-made project by a Japanese housewife who goes by the name of 'Pico.' The realistic cat bags are also fully functional, and are made from plush material that's then airbrushed with color to help complete their cat-mimicking look. Demand for these special bags is also extremely high, making each of these handbags an instant collector's item as well.
The process to make each item is reportedly very time-consuming, and additionally they are currently only available sporadically on Yahoo! Auction Japan. One three-colored cat model reportedly recently sold at auction for approximately $700 dollars US.
