The Horse Head Leather Bag, made by the Bob Basset workshop, is a beautiful piece of macabre fashion.
This morbid handbag depicts an extremely detailed horse's head, complete with ears, eyes, hair and snout. The bag is all black, save for the eyes which are brown and some metal accents. In a clever move by the designers at Bob Basset, the straps are made to look like a horse's rein. The back of the Horse Head Leather Bag is where you'll place all of the various objects that you'll need to carry around; all you have to do is open the flap in the back and fish around in your horse's head.
Though the Horse Head Leather Bag won't appeal to everyone, it can't be denied that this is a piece of fine of craftsmanship.
