Restaurant Makes Handbags From The Cow You Eat Fashion Directly From Your Food Forget about plunking down thousands of dollars and putting your name on a yearlong waiting list € to score New Yorks latest it€ bag, youre encouraged to eat the cow it comes from first. Sold exclusively at the Williamsburg restaurant Marlow & Sons, Breton tote bags boast supple leather and a price tag that ranges from $300 to $400. But buying one isnt so easy€¦ We are keeping it really small, and for our customers at the restaurant who have eaten those animals,€ Breton designer Kate Huling, 32, said. The latest in farm-to-table-to-closet fashion, the leather goods are crafted from the tanned hides of the same locally sourced, grass-fed cows and pigs served at Marlow & Sons, an eatery and dry-goods store, and at sister eateries Diner in Williamsburg and Romans in Fort Greene. [Look at] how quickly you can eat a burger, and that animal sacrifice for you is just gone. Whereas with the bag, thats something that can last for generations and generations,€ said Huling, whose husband, Andrew Tarlow, runs the trio of restaurants and a butcher shop with partner Mark Firth. Were interested in people having another opportunity to really honor the animal.€ They receive 10 to 20 bags every couple of weeks, but thats not whats motivating us, just selling out,€ Huling added. Were really interested in people coming and eating here, and being a part of the whole process.€ via Arbroath Share ThisSubscribedel.icio.usFacebookRedditStumbleUponTechnorati
