Stark Raven Mad

Diet Butcher Slim Skin Bags

Once upon a midnight dreary,
Came a designer none too cheery,
Though so unique, one needn’t speak,
That his website was a bit eerie.

And when she pondered what to carry,
She nonetheless was not wary
Of Hisashi Fukatami’s dark street fashion line to explore:
Diet Butcher Slim Skin,
With its punk-inspired core,
Named here for evermore.

Upon seeing the luscious horse leather,
Riri zippers, hardware so clever,
One can’t but smile like the tote’s canvas face,
Grinning back forever. 
While his reputation is for high-tops
And his menswear endeavor,
Fukatami’s bags are badass sexless standouts
Never seen before.
So there should nary be a question
Of what she wore:
Only this and nothing more.
