Not criminal but somewhat macabre and who knows what it would lead to, especially if there was a sudden demand for human skin handbags? A bit Nazi-ish imo.
Would make a good spoof horror film though, the handbag (made from the skin of an executed serial killer in the US), coming to life and walking away waving its straps as darkness falls. Then opening very slowly to reveal.....aaaargh!
Presumably all germs would be killed so no chance of cross infection. Would the handbags be DNA tested?
