(via Felisdemens): SkinBag. What? Yes. Really. They make things like purses and handbags and little pouches out of synthetic human skin. Also dresses.

From their Concept page:SkinBag are autonomous seamless organisms in synthetic skin.

Accessories and OuterWears in SkinBag become body extensions.

SkinBag anticipates the fusion between the digital and the organic.

Carrier of mutation, SkinBag symbolizes the ambivalence between the archaic and the artificial, the instinctive and the optimized.

SkinBag is a relational tool offering a new form of nudity to our social body.

Limited series, or made to measure, each SkinBag is hand crafted.

An alchemy between the captivating and the repulsive.

Which is really fucking pretentious, I think, but what can you do? When your shit is made of synthetic skin and creeps people the hell out you might as well go all Bella Lugosi on the intardwebs.

Anyway. I dunno if this is overly creepy and doomed to failure or just odd enough to work. I do also see that if you select some items you can see scarifications of different models. Interesting. I think that ups their potential.

I mean if you are into scarification wouldn’t you like your bag to match and look like it might be part of you?

Would you tattoo the stuff, too?

Pierce it?

It’s just interesting to me.
