The Sickest Site I Ever Hoped Was A Joke

Have you ever thought to yourself, “Boy Howdy, I sure would like a wallet made out of HUMAN SKIN”

No? Then apparently you haven’t visited Human Leather UK. From their site:



[Hu]man Leather Products
We only craft the best and most beautiful products out of our unique leather. We have produced bespoke items for some of our clients, but due to the limited size of the lengths that we work with, we are limited to what items we can fashion out of the leather.

Think that isn’t gruesome enough? Human Leather UK says that they use skin from the abdomen and back of dead people because their is, “uninterrupted skin coverage” that is best for making human leather. And a pair of Human Leather shoes? A cool $27,000.

I really, REALLY hope this site is fake. I didn’t email for more information because I was afraid I’d wake up in a bath tub in the UK, covered in ice and have a strange scar where my kidney should be or something.

Ewww.

EWWWWW.

  • This cannot be a real site. I know some EU countries are a bit more liberal than the US but this would cross the line in most countries. On a similar topic, watch the documentary The Yes Men Fix The World. To prove a point at an oil expo in Canada, they distributed candles to the audience and did a presentation based on the use of humans to create candles. They even used human hair to make it smell bad. It was pretty funny.
