LOVE these shoes...

But am I being unreasonable not wanting my footwear to be made of fanny leather 👀

Edit: click on the pic to see what I mean

Would you wear them if they were penis leather?

aquashiv · 02/08/2026 13:02

Wtf?

Purplecatshopaholic · 02/08/2026 13:16

lol. I still love them..

MrsMoastyToasty · 02/08/2026 13:18

Surely it will be cow fanny leather....

tartyflette · 02/08/2026 13:19

But 920 quid! Fanny leather or not…

It’s just the name of that line. Fanny does not mean the same thing in different countries and it’s just a name in France. Hopefully you are more mature than the average 12 year old…

tartyflette · 02/08/2026 13:23

And penis leather would surely bring its own set of er, problems. Fit a bit too stretchy?

I was hoping OP was being sarcastic as well. Fanny is a name, many brands have Fanny as a name for shoes.

Imagine ballsack leather. Stressful.

I think we are generally aware of the girl’s name Fanny. It also used to be popular here too but has unaccountably fallen out of mainstream use.

What on earth ?
And a cow's fanny isn't made of leather - only her hide !

I’m actually re-reading The Famous Five books and it’s coming up at least once every ten or so pages.

In America these would be called pumps

and "Fanny" in USA means bottom (as in bum ) not what it means in UK....

More mature than the average 12 year old? Absolutely not, I still snigger at biscuits being called Hob Nobs 😆

Ahh really! Well I am french and my middle name is actually… Fanny. My godmother’s name. I was surprised when I arrived many years ago in England and realised what that meant!

With some functional issues after a glass of wine 🤣

Elaine118 · 02/08/2026 13:41

No more weird than any other type of leather to me.
Enjoy your shoes, Ed Gein. 😬

Fanny is a shortened version of Frances or Francoise.....
