Marc on my mind - Part 2

[galligator]

Let's talk about the "Mouse" shoe. The leather 'whisker' originating the 'mouse' designation:

Â*Mark Jacobs updated it playfully last fall with full mousy features, including 3-dimensional ears.

Now,Â*Mr. JacobsÂ*has taken the mouse &amp; flattened it again;Â*this time with the look ofÂ* 'drawn on' stitchingÂ*which creates aÂ*cuteÂ*illusion of 3-dimensional ears and tail:

And, just when I thought that was enough variety for any shopper, along comes the Jelly Mouse:
