The LITTER Bear Cat Collection features two odd facial accessories that look more prankster and playful than wearable-chic. They are [chain fringed jewelry pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection) made to look like a mustache and beard. Dubbed The Criminal and The Biker, the [faux facial hair accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/billie-chia-pet) give women a masculine disguise that is weird and quirky.

Designed by San Francisco-based sisters Rachel Mann and Mackenzie Burdick, the LITTER Bear Cat Collection is mainly made up of [vintage chains and costume jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baked-in-gold) found in flea markets and junk shops. It is this riff-raff of materials that inspire such strange designs. In the case of The Criminal and The Biker, these accessories attach to sunglasses to uniquely hang off feminine faces.
