People thought Fendi's $990 scarf looked like a vulva and it was mocked so hard the company took it

The weather is getting colder and fall accessories are coming back into fashion. But instead of sticking to tried-and-true staples, luxury designers have created some alternative options. Fendi, for example, has designed a $990 pink circle scarf printed with the brand's signature logo and lined with brown fur.

The weather is getting colder and fall accessories are coming back into fashion. But instead of sticking to tried-and-true staples, luxury designers have created some alternative options.

Fendi, for example, has designed a $990 pink circle scarf printed with the brand's signature logo and lined with brown fur.

The "Touch of Fur" stole is available in blue and red, but online shoppers have stayed fixated on the pink version that's no longer available on the website.

On Fendi's website, the scarf was described as a "shawl made in a soft blend of silk and wool in tones of pink." Twitter users, however, mocked the design and said it resembles a vulva.

Others said they like the scarf and would even wear it if given the chance.

Some Twitter users didn't mind the appearance of Fendi's scarf, but took issue with the brand's use of real fur.

After incessant mocking from internet users, the scarf has been removed from Fendi's website and seems to have disappeared from the sites of other major retailers who carry the brand.

The scarf is still available in red and blue, however, and can be purchased here.
