not as expensive as i would have guessed.
definitely a toy i would buy to amuse myself if i am feeling rich.

I like the look of these. They remind me of the book in evil dead...The Necronomicon.

They're as attractive as the undead. And no, we aren't talking about Karl Rove--he'd look better.

I want one with the Declaration of Independence on it.

Those are popular Berluti bags. Actually I like them, but don`t want to own one myself.

But what is their technique? And is there a market for them at 1/12th cost in inferior leather with the brandname Burrluti?

 

[lockey2k]

I like the wallets. ^__^

 

[GreyFlannelMan]

Wow. I like the color of the leather, but overall, that is an unattrative bag.

 

[Pundit]

From a visit to their store in NYC, I understand their technique is to tatoo the text onto the leather and then perform their coloration magic. If I recall correctly the text you see is from some historical French document.

I think it looks best on the leather document case. Quite whimsical actually.
The right way to do this would be to tattoo the cow while it is still alive.

The only thing redeemable about these Mary Shelley-esque creations is that they might be useful for impressing Wall-Street flunkies and sycophantic Arabs.
