ASOS is selling a handbag that pays homage to the poo emoji. Because it's 2017 and well, why not.

ASOS' faux fur arm-wear has fabric linen lining and retails for $40.

The bag - which has been released to correspond with "The Emoji Movie" film - is shaped like the poo emoji and features a bow-tie and smirking face.

It also features a detachable chain, allowing customers to wear it as an over-shoulder bag or clutch.

It seems to be an era for eyebrow-raising fashion accessories.

Earlier this month we reported on the Ta-Ta Towel ... which is basically an accessory that helps women deal with the pesky issue of "underboob sweat".

Guys. Everything is ok. The TaTaTowel has arrived. #genius #sweatnomore pic.twitter.com/nriHyDXHXc

For our part, we think the emoji handbag is something of a crime against fashion.
