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.
