Bugs on Bags

I am not sure how I feel about this collaboration between Prada and Damien Hirst. I know that Prada has some of Hirst's 'vitrines', those with hooves of solid gold. Don't like animals in boxes. And certainly don't like insects. So I won't be buying, not even ogling, those new handbags covered in bugs, some of them real ones encased in glass. Amber with real fossils is one thing; this is something different altogether and a bit disturbing. Okay I won't mention the butterflies again...
