Why settle for having a bag shaped like a square, rectangle, crescent or even bucket when it can be shaped like a pigeon, like Carrie Bradshaw’s in Season 2 of That’s it ? This is the question we can ask ourselves when faced with the amazing accessory worn by actress Sarah Jessica Parker on the set of the sequel to Sex and city. But where does this funny little bird come from, by the way? And what is it for?
Where did Carrie Bradshaw’s pigeon bag come from?
It was in January 2022 that this pigeon-shaped clutch bag first appeared on the JW Anderson runway.brand of the young Northern Irish designer Jonathan Anderson (who also heads the luxury house Loewe, belonging to the LVMH group).
Instantly, the instability divided critics and audiences, some see in this bad taste a vain provocation or, on the contrary, an interesting reflection. These possibilities are not mutually exclusive, it is certainly both at the same time. And it is precisely this that makes this minaudière as fascinating as it is unnerving. It was enough for real-life fashionistas to gleefully hug him as soon as he was released. And this pigeon also seduces in fiction, since It’s Carrie Bradshaw’s character’s turn to grab him in the sequel to Sex And The City, that’s right.
Amazement and cooing at the price of JW Anderson’s minaudière pigeon
In fact, according to new images released in early October 2022 from the filming of season 2 of the Continuation of the legendary series, we see actress Sarah Jessica Parker with JW Anderson’s minaudière pigeon. However, as the series is much more popular than this branded fashion brand, the accessory was able to reach the retina of a wider audience. And this is no more than amazement and cooing at the price of the minaudière: € 690.
Can we really put something in this fun bag?
Made from 3D printed resin in the UK, the bag measures 2cm x 21cm x 11cm. A wing rises to reveal a compartment that can hold a few cards, a lip gloss and keys at most. This collectible piece that can be used as a decoration in the home, like any other trinket, can be pre-ordered now for delivery scheduled for late February 2023.
We can therefore read a literal way of embodying the expression to be pigeonholed. Or on the contrary, a way to humorously question the canons of good taste. Perhaps it is also a way to remind us how smartphones have withdrawn the carrier pigeons that once served to communicate, and are now completely … accessories.
