Do you ever get the feeling that some products should have gone through one final check, before being sent out into the world?

A friend of mine once said, that when designing something, you should always put the finished slogan or image in a room of 10-year-olds, and if they start giggling, it should never see the light of day.

Fendi might have benefitted from that advice before uploading their pink fur scarf to the internet.

Here’s Business Insider:

Fendi has designed a $990 (R14,000) pink circle scarf printed with the brand’s signature logo and lined with brown fur in the centre.

The “Touch of Fur” stole is available in blue and red, but online shoppers have stayed fixated on the pink version that’s no longer available on the website.

This is indeed a thing of beauty if you want to leave the house looking like you’re being birthed:

Fendi described the scarf as a “shawl made in a blend of silk and wool in tones of pink”.

Nah, guys. That’s a straight up (super expensive) vagina. It makes Lenny Kravitz’s giant scarf blunder seem rather meek.

The reactions to the scarf have been mixed. Twitter users have taken the mickey out of it:

While others have pointed out that the shape of the scarf is nothing compared to the fact that the manufacturers used real fox fur:

While you can no longer get a pink vulva scarf, you can pretend to be a birthing Avatar character in the blue scarf. The red one is also still online.

Minus the real fur, that’s your Halloween costume sorted.
