Tiny lifeless mammal now available at your favourite online store

I don't usually write posts about accessories:  most designers reserve their rashness for garments, I find.  However, this small item deserves attention:  it's described by Asos as a raccoon tail, which is a charitable description, given that it looks like something the cat has laid on the back doorstep in a gesture of affection to the householder.  The cat presumably expects you to wear the pelts of its enemies as a symbol of your undying loyalty.

Further consideration suggests that this is a charm which can be clipped to a belt or bag, although Christ knows exactly what it's supposed to be warding off.  The bad luck's already arrived, I'm afraid.
