Handbags From Your Pet Hair


Do you love your pet but hate the fact you find pet hair all over your house? Danelle German, the owner of The Catty Shack, a feline grooming and spa service in South Carolina, came up with the concept of turning that unwanted cat hair into custom made handbags.




The hair is spun into yarn and knitted into a one of a kind bag, made from your beloved pet's hair! The first step is collecting the hair and "carding" it, which means combing the fur in the same direction to prepare it for spinning. Bags take about 3-4 weeks to make.

Prices range from $45.00 to $300.00 and collection kits vary in price from $7.00 up to $78.00 and you are given instructions with these kits on how to best collect your pet's fur.

This would make a great gift for the person who loves their pet absolutely!
