"Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have been slammed by PETA for creating a fur backpack.  The twins recently designed a backpack made of patches of animal fur priced at almost $17,000 (\u00C2\u00A310,902) as part of their fashion line The Row. PETA has now released a statement condemning the luxury item.  &amp;quot;If it looks like a troll and acts like a troll, it&amp;#039;s probably a Trollsen Twin - or someone wearing one of their new $16,000 totes, which are made from the fur and skins of innocent animals,&amp;quot; the PETA statement read. &amp;quot;What the Olsens lack in creativity, they try to make up for in shock value. Sadly, it&amp;#039;s the foxes, calves, and alligators - who often have the fur ripped off them while they are still conscious and able to feel pain - who pay the dearest price.&amp;quot; The Olsen twins were recently named &amp;#039;Womenswear Designers of the Year&amp;#039; by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). A PETA representative compared Kim Kardashian to 101 Dalmatians character Cruella de Vil, after the socialite was seen wearing Christian Louboutin snakeskin boots in Paris last week.
