The Rise of the Main Character Prop
Pigeons have been waiting for their fashion moment for a long time. But this fall the undisputed bag of the season is a resin replica of a pigeon made by Irish designer JW Anderson, yours for £795.
It's if you can get your hands on one. The pigeon already has a waiting list on the brand's site (where it was the most viewed article in August), and is sold out on Net-a-Porter. And that was before Sarah Jessica Parker was seen with the pigeon this week on the set of the new season of And Just Like That…. On TikTok, a video of the pigeon unboxing has over 27,000 views.
The pigeon may be a bag but it is not a practical purpose bag.Hollow inside, it has room to carry maybe a credit card and lip balm. Instead, it's a prop, a stunt, a meme come to life. Less a bag and more a main character prop. Other similar models vying for attention? Balenciaga's £1,290 'trash' bag, a solid gold bag on the Coperni catwalk worth €100,000 (£87,928) and Louis Vuitton's bag designed to look like a can of paint, which sells for £1,980.
