Female panda gets her paws on a particularly tasty designer handbag to celebrate World Panda Day.
The one-off original was crafted by keepers at Moscow Zoo in the Russian capital as a special gift to the fans’ favourite female panda Katyusha.
A video of the bag shows how it would not look out of place on fashion catwalk alongside Versace and Hermes.
But the panda bag has one significant advantage – when you tire of it you can eat it.

Keepers used bamboo shoots, carrots and other vegan treats to create the bag and then presented it to Katyusha in her enclosure on 16th March.
Hungry Katyusha made a bee-line for the bag and began nibbling off its applique flowers.
Then, as she craftily looks over her shoulder to see if she has any rivals, she sits down and begins to demolish the treat.
Zoo General Director Svetlana Akulova shared the footage with panda fans on social media saying: “It’s even one hundred percent environmentally friendly.”
