Cow-Stomach Handbags

Artist Billie van Katwijk makes handbags (and purses, wallets, etc.) out of cow stomachs. They're available for purchase, but not cheap. A coin purse, for instance, will cost you over $200.

I don’t think I could stomach this.

Do they growl when they're empty?

Only if there are 3 other empty purses nearby.

They only list 3 of the 4 stomachs of a cow. If they don't make abomasum purses, you won't be able to buy a maw for your ma.
