Cowhide and exotic leather purses produced from crocodiles, snakes, and kangaroos are well-known. But have you ever heard of frog-made handbags?
Small handbags made of genuine frogs are available for purchase in the Philippines. Of course, it's dead.
We were drawn to a video made by anabelle_co, a Chinese-Filipino expat living in Malaysia when she recently shared about these frog purses she discovered on Boracay Island.
The shopkeeper confirmed that they are genuine frogs. They use googly eyes since they can't use real ones because they degrade when producing the bags.

Each frog purse has a long strap and an underside zip pocket for money and other small items. Frog coin purses are allegedly popular souvenirs sold in tourist shops around the Philippines.
It has been discovered that one vendor is selling these on Shopee Philippines, albeit they are now sold out. Another Twitter user remarked that the purse is also available on Taobao.
The party has instead freed the spiritual atom bomb that is the masses’ entrepreneurial vigor. Check out this purse made out of a taxidermied frog that you can buy on Taobao pic.twitter.com/0Ka75WozI3
