Found Mott St at Hester St, Sept 1 at 9:45pm

The item A mangled counterfeit Louis Vuitton handbag

The process “We picked out the stitches to remove the straps and cut a pig pattern on the monogrammed canvas. Then we sewed the pattern together and stuffed the pig with old shredded fabric and a rock. The tail is made from a length of wire with canvas sewn around it, and the ears are Velcroed on.”
