# Puppy-Shaped Clutch Bags This Thom Browne Clutch Adds a Touch of Obscure Luxuriousness to Any Look By Riley von Niessen | Published 2017-07-25 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thom-browne-clutch References: [hypebae](https://hypebae.com/2017/7/thom-browne-black-chain-hector-bag) & [ssense](https://www.ssense.com/en-us/women/product/thom-browne/black-chain-hector-bag/2131307) Recently, a new Thom Browne clutch bag was released, which is similar in design to the designer brand's iconic Dachshund-shaped bags for men. Unlike the rather large Dachshund-shaped bags, the Thom Browne clutch bag is just big enough to carry one's essentials, like a [phone, wallet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chip-bag-purse), and a few other small items. In order to give the bag more structure, Thom Browne covers the hard exterior with Italian calfskin, which makes it both aesthetically pleasing to look at and incredibly durable. On the interior of the bag, a fabric lining ensures that the contents one places inside don't fall out when it's opened. The Thom Browne clutch bag is currently available from retailers such as SSENSE, where it sells for $5,290 USD. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Puppy-shaped Clutch Bags:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing unique and eye-catching clutch bags inspired by animals appeals to consumers looking for luxury fashion items with a touch of whimsy. - **Durable and Functional Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing durable and functional accessories with high-quality materials that offer both aesthetic appeal and practicality meets the needs of busy professionals. - **Luxury Fashion for Men:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expanding the luxury fashion market for men by offering unique and stylish designs, such as Dachshund-shaped clutch bags, that cater to their unique fashion preferences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating novelty and fashionable accessories, like puppy-shaped clutch bags, that attract customers seeking unique and trendy items. - **Leather Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovating in the leather goods industry by using high-quality materials, like Italian calfskin, to create durable and stylish products, such as the Thom Browne clutch bag. - **Luxury Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Transforming the luxury retail industry by offering exclusive designer products, like the Thom Browne clutch bag, that customers are willing to pay a premium for. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hedgehog-replicating Hand Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hedgehog-clutch.md) - [Dog-ShapedLuxurious Monogram Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pooch-bag.md) - [Penguin-Resembling Luxe Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-bag.md) - [Croissant-Shaped Clutch Bag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-clutch.md) - [Breakfast-Inspired Novelty Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epure-xs-toast-bag.md) - [Lobster-Shaped Luxury Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-bag.md) - [Chic Celery-Shaped Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moschino-clutch.md) - [Pastry-Inspired Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greggs-sausage-roll-clutch.md) - [Crumpled Chip Bag-Resembling Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chip-bag-purse.md)
