Creativity and the need for Novelty are two dynamic forces pushing the vehicle of Fashion in today’s world.
From the eco-friendly use of disposable clothing materials to the previously considered hilarious shoe of Jay Z. Novelty, is considered a competitive edge in driving the market towards relevancy and patronage.
And talking about novelty, it is a concept that has been pulled taut from solving serious life issues to the mundane part of it that is considered aesthetic: pleasing to the eyes with no practical usage or functions beyond, “Wao this is cute”.
A perfect example of such in the field of bags with little to no practical usage beyond cameras and flash is the resin replica of a pigeon made by the Irish designer JW Anderson, that goes for £795 on the official JW Anderson site.
What a cute little pigeon props.
Light weighted with a hollow inside. The pigeon bag does not look the part of a bag nor does it function as a bag with practical usage. It is more of a costume prop and a fun way style of carrying credit cards, keys, and lip gloss as these are practical things that it can carry.
The idea of carrying a bag that is not a bag might seem odd but it definitely is a fun way style of drawing attention and publicity to garner traffic.
Balenciaga’s “trash” bag for £1,290, a solid gold bag on the Coperni catwalk worth €100,000 (£87,928) and Louis Vuitton’s bag designed to resemble a paint can, which retails at £1,980 are few of such bags that are Meme worthy and more of a public acrobatic stunt that draws traffic and retain relevancy in the competitive market of fashion and trends that feeds on novelty.
