Nasty Gal Made A Vegan Leather Du-Rag For Some Reason

Online mega-retailer and aggressive trend revivalists Nasty Gal attempted to bring back the leather du-rag, and sadly, like "fetch" in Mean Girls, they just couldn't make it pop off. This faux leather version of a du-rag, similar to the one that Aaliyah rocked in "If Your Girl Only Knew," has become a point of frustration and mass confusion. Judging from the copy on the Nightwalker Vegan Leather Du-Rag's product page—"Sometimes you've just got to du-rag you. This vegan leather du-rag has a tie closure at back and is unlined. Perfect with a black tee dress and slide sandals"—the ladies of Nasty Gal genuinely wanted to tap into a major style moment, but somehow ended up stumbling into the hornet's nest of Twitter. From cries of cultural appropriations to sheer befuddlement, we've rounded up the funniest and most bewildering tweets below. For a primer on du-rags and 360º waves, check out WAVES, Maclean Jackson and Stephen K. Schuster's coffee table book dedicated to all-important spinning hair style. 

I don't have an issue with a leather du rag so much as it's being called "vegan leather."

We need to establish a Black culture tax. You wanna jack our style, fine. Pay us. 15% of every "vegan doo rag" sale goes to UNCF.
