Louis Vuitton Open Bag, 14.5 x 17.5 x 12.5 in, wax, leather and metal

Meat your new favorite fashion accessories… Created to be a commentary on over-the-top consumerism, Swiss artist Andrea Hasler created Burdens of Excess — a series of fashion accessories made of meat.

At least the sculptures are made to look like meat — they actually consist of a few materials, mostly a wax compound. So, please do not try to eat the Gucci.
