In fact, the designs are taking social media by storm with thousands of admirers scrambling¹ to buy their own.

　　日本设计师Pico将猫咪形象与女性的挎包相结合，创造出一种仿真猫咪挎包，毛茸茸的猫咪形象十分受人推崇，引领日本最新时尚潮流。据悉，每个仿真猫咪包售价约500美元（约合人民币3175元）至700美元（约合人民币4444元），然而高价挡不住时尚潮人的热情，在日本猫咪挎包已成为高人气商品，拥有成千上万的热衷粉丝。

　　Each bag is hand-made by Pico herself – she sews the white faux fur together and then airbrushes the completed cats with acrylic paint to give them individual markings. Her most popular design is the black, white and caramel colored cat-bag with yellow eyes and a pink nose. She sells them at 83,000 yen² ($685) apiece.

　　Although people all over the world love her designs, Pico announced on her Twitter account that she currently³ only sells them in Japan through Yahoo! Auction⁴.

　　自从这款猫咪包包问世后，全球爱猫人士都疯狂了，但是不幸的是，目前仅在日本地区有售，爱猫的人士们还要耐心等待哦。
