Karl Lagerfeld Wants You To Buy A $1 Million Fur Coat

None

Karl Lagerfeld debuted Fendi's fur-centric haute couture collection last week and a lot of people liked it. Naturally, you would anticipate that the pieces would run customers a pretty penny. According to The Financial Times, one coat is taking shit to the next, next level, eclipsing the $1 million price tag.

This particular coat is the one in question. If you're unfamiliar with the fur world, this bad boy is made from sable, a rare and oft-referred to species of small, rodent-like animals similar to ferrets, badgers, weasels and minks. Apparently, it's super soft and, like, it better fucking be for a cool milli. I'm disappointed if I spend $5 on a sandwich and it's not up to par, so I can't even imagine how good a $1 million sandwich is supposed to taste.

In case any narcs are reading, the sable isn't endangered or anything, so fur traders (those still exist?) can hunt them without cause for concern, though an animal is still getting murdered in any case so I guess it's the thought or lack thereof that counts. Anyhow, it's already a super expensive hide, but Karl and crew dipped the thing in silver, dyeing the follicles to look like the coat is constantly bathed in moonlight. You know, just to flex a little extra on the dismembered corpses of all your now dead rivals.

The final value clocks in at roughly 1 million Euros, $1,085,470 if you want to get specific. Though, if you're the kind of person who doesn't blink when you see $1 million, then you probably don't give a fuck about that extra $85,000. Jesus, do you people have any idea how many sandwiches that is?
