This fur coat is made of RATS!!!!
I hate to say it, but the photograph and the model make rat fur look spectacular. From a distance, at least.

My favorite line is "...the Gucci Group, who would skin zebras and kittens if it meant the latest It Bag." Pretty sick, but certainly true. I can attest to Gucci's ues of exotic skins personally, having visited their factory in Scandicci, Italy. There were many skins hanging in a special room, pink alligators, green crocodile, yellow ostriches. You could see that the entire animal had been skinned... they were whole pieces of animal skin, from head to toe.
The discussion about animal products could go on forever, so I'm going to stop my post here for now. Enjoy the rat coat.
