JW Anderson has unveiled an all-new -- and notably bizarre -- accessory called the 'Pidgeon Clutch Bag.' As its name suggests, the new accessory is a handbag that is meant to look like a realistic Pidgeon. According to the brand, the whimsical new product was made using 3D printing technology.
The one-of-a-kind accessory is sure to garner attention, considering that when it's held it gives the appearance that the wearer is carrying around a literal bird. Despite its photorealistic aesthetic, the bag is still completely functional. The bird's right-wing can be lifted, revealing a small storage compartment.
Interestingly, the Pidgeon Clutch Bag appears to align with a small but steadily growing 'Pidgeoncore' trend, which is most prevalent on social media app TikTok.
