- Fendi was selling a $990 pink fur scarf on their website.
- Twitter users compared it to a vulva.
- While many mocked the scarf, others said they would try wearing it.
- The accessory has since been removed from Fendi’s website, likely as a result of the online reaction.
- The scarf is still available to purchase in blue and red.
The weather is getting colder and fall accessories are coming back into fashion. But instead of sticking to tried-and-true staples, luxury designers have created some alternative options.
Fendi, for example, has designed a $990 pink circle scarf printed with the brand’s signature logo and lined with brown fur.
The “Touch of Fur” stole is available in blue and red, but online shoppers have stayed fixated on the pink version that’s no longer available on the website.
On Fendi's website, the scarf was described as a "shawl made in a soft blend of silk and wool in tones of pink." Twitter users, however, mocked the design and said it resembles a vulva.

The color isn’t flattering on me, but, otherwise, I’m here for a scarf that recalls my emergence from my mother’s body.

Some Twitter users didn't mind the appearance of Fendi's scarf, but took issue with the brand's use of real fur.

The first headline I read "#Fendi scarf looks like a vulva" - but honestly, all I wanna know is why real fox fur was used? 🤔😕😔

After incessant mocking from internet users, the scarf has been removed from Fendi's website and seems to have disappeared from the sites of other major retailers who carry the brand.
The scarf is still available in red and blue, however, and can be purchased here.
