After designing bags for Hillary and Oprah, artist turns to Syrian refugees (barf alert)

Having taken the Dutch fashion industry by storm and designed hands bags for global names like Hillary Clinton and Oprah Winfrey, designer Omar Muni is now turning his attention to helping refugees in a country that welcomed him as a refugee when he was 9 years old.

Omar hopes that the launch of his new foundation - The Dutch Tulip, will help to dispel the negative image surrounding refugees and vice versa, at a time when anti-immigration sentiments are on the rise across Europe.

The Dutch Tulip launched this month with positive coverage across social media and Dutch media, garnering support from community groups, politicians, entrepreneurs and employment agencies. (snip)

In sharing his own experience as a refugee he believes that majority of refugees want nothing more than to contribute to development of their host country.(snip)

His bags are also worn by many celebrities, including Jane Fonda, Yfke Sturm, Jessica Mendels, Leontien van Moorsel, Edsilia Rombeley, Caroline Tensen, Kim Feenstra, Inge de Bruijn, Quinty Trustfull, Jeroen Pauw, Hint, Paul Witteman, and Fatima Moreira de Melo.

Having already sold his bags to Macy's, one of America's largest department stores, he wants to continue his international success: "I want to go global in the next five years. For me, the sky's the limits."

Anti-immigration sentiments?

Gee, why would that be?

Here’s an idea.

Take your bags and shove them up your #####.

Careful Omar, you may be designing a very fancy, very smart leather bag for results of your own beheading.
Many of these refugees are not who they claim to be.

I don’t want to think what they’ll carry around in those bags.

Why not get into the real spirit of Mohammedanism and make the bags out of dead infidels?

After Hanoi Jane, I do not recognize a single name on that list.

Not one.

I just wondered if a hip New Yawker from Staten Island (Who is also 20 years my Junior) could sell me a clue. I figure you've *got to be* more with it than me.

Bags for syrian refugees.
The head bag. For carrying the head you just sliced off.
The bomb bag. Put your explosives in this bag and go out in a bang and in style.
The sheep bag. Made from the fur of sheep - so you can remember those fond intimate moments with the sheep of your love.
The pig bag. Made from pigskin. Think of the fun and pranks you can play on your friends.
The suicide bag. Comes packed with candy-coated poison pills, so you can rid the world of at least one subhuman scum.

What’s The Dutch Tulip? A priest that loses his head during Mass?

Lame propaganda:
Besides all the head chopping,
"See, they're just like us!"

This guy has an income producing business.
Wonder if he is also drawing welfare.

Also, do women in burqas carry purses?
