The current iteration of the furry fob trend started with Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2010 presentation when designer Marc Jacobs embellished already flashy bags with the addition of fur fox-shaped tails. As bags became more streamlined and minimal, designers backed off in-your-face elements and went back to classic roots.
