Italian luxury fashion brand Fendi was kind enough to give 2NE1's Dara (Sandara Park) and Big Bang's Taeyang (Dong Youngbae) matching gifts a few days ago, and both idols took to Instagram to express their thanks.
Taeyang was first of the two idols to post a snapshot of his Fendi gift. On January 11, he posted a photo of what appears to be a personalized version of the Fendi bug charms that are all the rage these days and seen toted by celebrities like Kylie Jenner. The gift was emblazoned with a capital letter 'T' which is the first letter in Taeyang.

Then on January 14, Dara also shared to her Instagram followers a photo of her own Fendi gift, this time with the letter 'S' which is the first letter of her real first name, Sandara.

The matching Fendi gifts triggered a wave of fashion envy among followers of both artists. It also renewed fervor among those rooting for the two as a couple, also referred to as DaraYang.
"You guys always received gifts like that? Awww lucky... Me envy," and "Finally DaraYang," said online commenters.
But the sight of fur products also elicited some backlash among animal lovers.
"Hi unnie, please don't support fur products... They involve animal cruelty... and you're too beautiful for that," "So disappointing... Don't you know that fur is murder and cruelty," said disappointed fans.
