Commitment has and always will be, the key to success. Stand-up comedians won’t get a laugh unless they’ve fully committed to a bit, runners won’t finish a marathon unless they’ve committed to training, and you’ll never win a costume contest unless you’ve gone above and beyond to commit to the theme. The same sentiment rings true when it comes to fashion. An obscure (and weirdly realistic) frog clutch wouldn’t be the “it bag” of the season if JW Anderson hadn’t already proved his commitment to a quirky animal theme. It started with the obscure viral pigeon bag and now, the new JW Anderson frog clutch is leaping into viral fashion fame. Care to hop along?
If you’re late to the fashion menagerie, let me fly you up to speed. Last year, JW Anderson designed a pigeon bag that would have any passerby convinced you were carrying around a live bird—it was that realistic. The bird first made an appearance in the JW Anderson Men’s Fall 2022 Collection and was put into production after an enthusiastic reaction.
The pigeon bag is true-to-size and conveniently hinges open at the wing for a practical storage solution. Unsurprisingly, the pigeon bag quickly went viral on social media and migrated from its comedic fashion association into a coveted luxury good.

The pigeon bag is 3-D printed and retails for almost $900. While there was once a waitlist for the clutch, you can now order and get almost-immediate satisfaction with rush shipping.

A few months ago, the JW Anderson frog shoes started popping up online and while I admit to finding them ugly at first, I eventually found the little rubber guys endearing. The webbed-toe look is thanks to a collaboration between JW Anderson and Wellipets, a brand that specializes in rain boots.

Now, JW Anderson has landed his life-like creations with a frog clutch (which is designed to look as if it’s literally clutching your arm). The resin frog clutch hinges open at the mouth to reveal a red interior and white tongue. While it may not be a practical shape or size to hold a cell phone, it will fit your keys, credit card, and a lip balm or two.
Fashion icon, Alexa Chung, got an early jump on the trend last February when she was spotted carrying an early edition of the JW Anderson frog clutch during London Fashion Week.
