Why wear mink when you can have skin?
by Jamie E17

Le French Chainsaw Massacre? No. It’s fashion sweetie! French artist Oliver Goulet has designed an organic look and feel to fashion - The ‘Skinbag’.

Skinbag products are made from synthetic human-like skin with a creased, bumpy appearance complete with wrinkles, spots, moles, blemishes, scars and even tattoos, giving a ‘natural’ aspect to the range of clothing and accessories.

Every hand crafted Skinbag product is protective and waterproof. Available in all the shades of human skin: White, Red, Black and Mixed. (Hmmm…not sure about yellow though).

These products symbolize an extension of the body, sometimes seen grotesque, but I just think they give another meaning to the ‘man bag’. It’s gore chic.

Skinbag...skin is in!
