These â€œscaryâ€ bags are so much fun. They are little [furry monsters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-collection) made with faux fur and fleece with a big dose of fun and love by **Justine Pallace** of New York, USA. These [hand-crafted creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artycapucines-vii) even have hand painted eyes and are quite friendly despite their â€œfrightfulâ€ appearance. As the designer says, â€œLarge or small, these creatures have been tamed for our use to carry our possessions for us.â€ The designer can also help you create your own monster bag. Messenger bags and [small backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/general-research-parasite-bag) will also be added.

How could you not be charmed with any one of these bags when they have cute names like â€œOle Blue Eyesâ€, â€œFeatherâ€, â€œFlying Swamp Monsterâ€ and â€œMr Chompsâ€? These bags do have bite! Grrrr!
