Here in London we have nose-to-tail eating courtesy of St John's, but we're a tad behind our friends across the Pond who've taken the concept of using the whole animal that one step further. Marlow & Sons, an upmarket restaurant in Williamsburg, New York is offering diners the opportunity to buy a handbag made with the hide of the cow they've just eaten.
According to the New York Post, bag designer Kate Huling , who along with husband Andrew Tarlow, runs the trio of restaurants and a butcher shop her new fashion line is 'another opportunity to really honour the animal.
'[Look at] how quickly you can eat a burger, and that animal sacrifice for you is just gone. Whereas with the bag, that's something that can last for generations and generations.'
Along with the handbag, the restaurant is also offering belts and wallets in the same theme.
