Pico Miho, a self-taught artist from Japan, started making these lovely bags two years ago and she didn’t know her creation would become a huge trend in her country. Miho’s feline handbags are all handcrafted; they consist of 78 parts and are the size of a real cat.

“I’ve always loved cats since I was a kid and always worked with stuffed animals everywhere. I wanted a ‘stuffed cat’ that I could take outside even as an adult. But a cute plush is embarrassing… so I made it in a way that looks real and has a reason for one to carry it around,” the artist told Bored Panda.

These handbags really do look very real and they cost up to $950. But keep in mind that they’re all made by hand and the artist needs a lot of time and effort to make one.

Take a look at these adorable bags in the photos below.
