Hayden Bags – Calfskin OK

Published on November 26, 2008 by name team · No Comments

Heroes star, Hayden Panettiere, is sending conflicting messages out there with her latest Dooney & Bourke’s creation, the “Hayden Clutch.” Although she’s come out before in support of whales, as a spokeswoman for the “Save the Whales Again!” foundation, apparently wearing calfskin is okay — or, maybe it doesn’t count if you’re just carrying it?

The actress previously designed “The Hayden Bag” for D&B’s Fall 08 collection. Hayden told People Magazine she doesn’t have any desire to become a fashion designer. “I’m going to stick to acting. If I designed anything it would probably be something for myself, more of a personal thing. I’m not interested in becoming a designer.”

Here’s a poem she might want to read someday and then see how she feels about calfskin bags:

“… I’m neither a Jersey nor Holstein now
But only a faded sort of cow.
My calves are veal and I had as lief
That I could lay me down as beef;
Somehow, they always kill by halves, –
Why not take me when they take my calves? …”
