CHRISSIE HYNDE - HYNDE TO SUE HANDBAG MAKER?

Rocker CHRISSIE HYNDE has threatened to mount a lawsuit against a handbag maker after they used her name to promote a leather bag. Animal rights campaigner Hynde has branded the decision by trendy holdall designer Hogan to name a new ponyskin handbag in their rock chick-inspired collection 'The Chrissie' "outrageous and thoughtless". She tells The Scoop, "I never thought I'd be moved to consider filing a lawsuit, but as soon as I heard my name was being used to promote bags made of dead-animal skin, I started exploring my legal options with my friends at PETA (People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals) "At first, I thought this must be a joke, it's so outrageous and thoughtless."
