A unique celebrity favorite clutch bag resembling a plastic bird is causing a fashion frenzy this summer. Priced at £600, this canary-shaped accessory is a hot commodity, despite its hefty price tag. With its bright yellow feathers, the bag is in high demand, leaving fans willing to part with a significant amount of money to get their hands on it.
Measuring just 16cm wide and 10cm deep, the clutch bag offers limited space for essentials. In fact, it can barely fit a pack of cigarettes, let alone a mobile phone. Accessing the contents is done by lifting the bird’s wing, and the bag does not come with a strap, requiring its proud owners to carry it in hand. The brand JW Anderson recommends cleaning the bag with a dry cloth only.
Retailers like Selfridges are reporting low stock, while JW Anderson’s official website has completely sold out of the bird bags. Some websites are even charging almost £1,000 for the coveted accessory. The popularity of the canary clutch soared after Queen’s Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy was seen carrying one at this year’s Wimbledon women’s singles final. The designers behind the bird bag had previously launched a pigeon-shaped clutch, which is still priced at £650.
Celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker from Sex and the City have also been spotted carrying the unique clutch, adding to its appeal among fashion-forward individuals. For those who want to achieve a similar look without breaking the bank, Primark offers designer dupes at a fraction of the cost.
The buzz surrounding this distinctive accessory showcases the influence of celebrities on fashion trends and the willingness of fans to invest in statement pieces. Despite its impractical size and high price, the canary-shaped clutch bag has captured the attention of fashion enthusiasts looking to make a bold style statement.
