# Plush Feline Clutches New Look's Novelty Cat Purse is Both Fun and Fashion-Forward By Jana Pijak | Published 2016-07-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feline-clutch References: [odditymall](http://odditymall.com/furry-cat-clutch-purse) New Look's feline clutch purse is a novelty item that makes a bold fashion statement when worn. The pet-inspired accessory is rectangular in shape, featuring a faux fur construction, adorable cat ears and even a tail that hangs off of it. This roomy clutch purse is also accented with realistic cat face accents -- blue eyes and whiskers -- and a zipper closure that ensures one's belongings are safe and secure. Though outrageous at first glance, this feline clutch is surprisingly functional and is affordable to boot. New Look's cat purse is a budget-friendly take on runway-themed accessories from the likes of [Fendi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-4), a label that revealed handbags inspired by monsters and stuffed animals on the runway a few seasons ago. While not ideal for everyday wear, this quirky accessory illustrates the fashion industry's recent childlike obsession and is guaranteed to spark up conversation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Novelty Fashion Accessories:** Developing unique and quirky accessories that make a bold fashion statement. - **Pet-inspired Fashion:** Creating fashion items with designs inspired by pets, appealing to pet lovers and enthusiasts. - **Affordable Runway-inspired Products:** Providing budget-friendly alternatives to high-end fashion accessories, allowing more people to access runway-inspired trends. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Accessories:** Exploring opportunities to create innovative and attention-grabbing fashion accessories that offer a unique twist. - **Pet Products:** Capitalizing on the love for pets by designing pet-inspired fashion items and accessories. - **Affordable Luxury Market:** Disrupting the luxury fashion market by offering budget-friendly alternatives to high-end and runway-inspired products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hedgehog-replicating Hand Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hedgehog-clutch.md) - [Cat-Inspired Luxury Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-and-kate-spade.md) - [Penguin-Resembling Luxe Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-bag.md) - [Chic Celery-Shaped Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moschino-clutch.md) - [Arcade Game-Inspired Purses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claw-purse.md) - [Pastry-Inspired Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greggs-sausage-roll-clutch.md) - [Canary-Inspired Fashion Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canary-clutch.md) - [Reimagined Archival Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coachs-western-tabby.md) - [Croissant-Shaped Clutch Bag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-clutch.md)
