Jocelyn Mather's cow stomach handbags

(Picture: Edinburgh Napier University)

 23-year-old design student Jocelyn Mather  makes handbags out of tripe – the stomach lining of a cow.
Her collection of hand-stitched bags ranges from a formal clutch to a dainty handbag, with Highland cow tripe used as a lining or outer material.
I'm not sure that I'd be comfortable reaching into a cow's stomach for a lipstick but I suppose if you think about it tripe is no worse than cowhide.
