Fashion brands release novelty bags shaped like animals and food items
Major fashion houses including Chanel, Dior, and JW Anderson are launching new collections featuring handbags designed to look like animals and food.
Designers create animal-shaped clutches
Chanel runway shows feature flap bags with giraffe heads and legs. Dior has introduced metal ducks and walnuts hanging from chains. Jonathan Anderson previously made hyperrealistic frogs, canaries, and hedgehogs for his own brand.
Food items become bag shapes
Creative director Matthieu Blazy at Chanel designed clutches resembling apples and acorns. Simone Rocha has built a following around bags shaped like food products. These novelty items appear alongside traditional black leather handbags in current collections.
Trend follows television influence
The style originated when a character on And Just Like That traded a Fendi Baguette for a pigeon clutch. This shift has made the trend official within high fashion circles. Several brands now maintain cult followings specifically for these unique designs.
