I suppose they’re unique!

I thought they were hairy vulvas at first glance.

Ideal for the gynaecologists in your life.

I bet Trinny wotsername has a pair- I know she has something similar in white.

Kind of wishing that hadn't been approved, tbh. Those faces are going to haunt the dreams of anybody who sees them online, never mind those unfortunate to have the things on the bedroom floor at night, watching them sleep.

The bag is massive!

It's not April's Fools Day is it?

I was shocked at how big it is. I imagined a smallish handbag but scrolled down to view the full beauty of it modelled by a human.

I almost unlatched my feeding baby laughing when I saw the scale. This is getting saved in my camera roll.

To be fair, good marketing ploy as we all have now heard of Kurt Geiger

I think I might have once made something similar as a Mother's Day present, but I think it was a pen pot.

Not just John lewis. I keep getting adverts from M&S about giant silicone nipples which I am finding very confusing indeed.

Do you want some weird fetish nipples to go with your monster shoes?

Edited

I'm not really on board with the prominent nipples look, but I think it might be for people who have had a mastectomy. M&S certainly sell mastectomy bras and prosthetics.

There's an episode of One Foot in the Grave when Victor comes into his bedroom with one foot in a slipper and the other foot inside a dead hedgehog.

Oh yes, I remember that one. Hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣

Gaaahh! Terrifying. I'd have to preemptively attack if I met that in town.

Can someone from the S&B board explain them?

ElizaSchuyler · 28/08/2026 12:39

The eagle head is Kurt Geiger's symbol a bit like the Versace Medusa head or the Gucci snake.

So this collection is meant to be a playful take on that. It's called The Wild Things. If you look at the brand in general it is always a bit garish.

AustenitesUnite · 28/08/2026 13:28

All in the best possible taste . . . .

pomeglamate · 28/08/2026 14:16

I love them. Obviously they are not everyday wear. They are fun and cute and will appeal to people with a certain bolder sense of style and money to spend on a slightly provocative statement piece. It’s a small demographic but it exists. No need to pretend like it doesn’t, mumsnet! Not everything has to be basic!

(DOI: I do not have the money to spend on such a statement piece. Might do if I did, though.)

At least they are “faux” muppet fur.

It's Rod Hull's emu wreaking havoc again.

Would have been fun at a tenner. Less so at 179

I bet a fair few people would have liked to stick their feet into emu. And possibly Rod Hull.
