How many tons of toxic chromium salts were released in the environment? Has she never set foot in an abattoir, or even look at pictures? How about the abbreviated life of calves, who are taken from their mothers to keep the milk industry going. <br /><br />Her belated tears have a certain crocodilian quality.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-6937432499658081452015-07-31T12:57:00.732+01:002015-07-31T12:57:00.732+01:00Not a chance.

Does she have a reputation in relation to clothing design ? Not that I'm aware of. Her own line? Not that I know of. Do they use imagery of Jane Birkin to sell the product? Not that I'm aware of.<br /><br />If she wants to be a pain post more stories about this so that anyone looking up Birkin bag finds stories about the allegedly horrible ways that they are made. Perhaps Peta could have a bag described as being designed by Jane Birkin which has on it (in the style of Anya Hindmarsh).<br /><br />NO CROCODILES WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS BAG<br /><br />Given the furore over Cecil, one wonders how long it is until Peta suggest that all handbags should be called the CECIL - a disgusting trophy to demonstrate wealth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-91398560435029725832015-07-30T12:20:29.042+01:002015-07-30T12:20:29.042+01:00Passing off - false endorsement/association ?
