Head Hand Bag by Yael Mer

Twisted, surprising and controversial. Three attributes that guarantee success.

Designer Yael Mer of Raw Edges is responsible for this unique piece. While our tPF members may find it creepy, I find it entirely brilliant. Apparently, the biblical story about Judith and Holofernes and its visual representation from the Renaissance were inspiration for the design of the bag. I can not relate to either the story, nor its representations from the fancy times of rebirth, but I think that this novelty bag adds great shock effect to spice up your daily wardrobe. You may have some explaining to do if a cop stopped you with a drawn gun, telling you to hand over possible homicide evidence, but it’s totally a risk I’d be willing to take!

Not sure where to get it and for how much, you can probably find out by emailing.

Would you wear it?

    I love them! They are different, subversive. They make you stop and look and they are a nice break from all the pimped out bags out there. http://www.modemonitor.com

    I think they are amazing, not only for novelty sake, but also for the actual craftsmanship. Molding what looks like wool (?) into that face shape cannot be an easy feat, I am curious to know how it is made! I might rock it, it certainly is unique and guaranteed that not many others would have it, but I probably would not use it very often…

    NO WAY! It’s like somebody lopped of a head and then stuck it in a canvas bag.

    I think it’s cool. See, I did not first think about lopping off someone’s head. In my mind, I pictured a fabulous girl skipping about Paris, having gotten everything she ever wanted. She comes up to a statue, say on the side of a building or in the Louvre, decides she wants to use the head for a purse, so she just takes it! It’s strangely elegant, walking around with your gum and cell phone in piece of art.

    Dark, edgy and very,very clever! While it obviously isn’t a bag for every occasion it certainly is a conversation starter! I’d love to get my hands on one!

    paint the bottom of the neck red, and your good to go. i think people would carry this bag for the “omg!! look at that bag” shock factor. me personally, im not feelin’ it.

    Although I’m sure it would be a “conversation starter”, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want to be involved in the coversations that thing might provoke. It looks like it might have been designed by Jeffrey Dahmer. What’s next, an umbrella shaped like an amputated leg? No thanks.
