Today is your day if you’ve ever seen pigeons and thought, “I wish that was closer to me.” Now you can snuggle a pigeon up close with this designer pigeon clutch. It’s not a bag and not a bird. But if you open one arm, it reveals a small compartment that will hold some personal items and may or may not fit your phone. It will also ensure that passers-by look at you on the street. Neighborhood pigeons may even bow their heads in your direction. If you’ve always wanted a pigeon to carry your messages, now’s your chance. Without all the tedious training and cleaning. They’re currently sold out, but you can pre-order one for $890.
We saw the fantastic accessory DesignTAXIwhich brought another Vogue article about the trend in our attention. Check this out for some runway photos of the pigeon flock in action, along with some other extremely funny bags.
Long before the Netflix show is it cake premiere, designers have created accessories that look like food. There are food-shaped bags, including chocolate, pizza and ramen styles. Or you can buy a Louis Vuitton bag in the shape of an airplane for $39,000. What about bags, flip flops and other accessories that look like sushi rolls? I actually love them.
There is more to pigeons than their reputation as “rats of the sky” would suggest. Many people around the world train and race homing pigeons. A world-class bird sold for $2 million. And always comes the nostalgia of The Goodfeathers family Animaniacs, who always gathered together. Whatever your reason, flock of pigeons can make your wacky fashion dreams come true.
