With an accessory such as this, it is no surprise that the Japanese [fashion brand FACETASM](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time) has been making such large waves since its inspiring 2012 Spring/Summer runway show. This high-impact [satchel design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monogramheavy-bags) debuted to become a show stopper. The surprisingly chic bag won’t leave anyone a fashion victim, but rather proves that chainsaws aren’t just for serial killers like Leatherface. The company uses [premium leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telfar-3) to recreate a chainsaw that is available in either a light caramel yellow or jet black. Fashion is a cut-throat industry and this bag is for anyone with true killer instincts. The FACETASM Chainsaw Bag can be yours for approximately $2,249 USD.
