Fashion house JW Anderson has always been recognized for its unique accessories and the new Hedgehog Clutch is the latest to join its roster. The new addition joins other outlandish designs including the pigeon and frog handbags. Notably, the Hedgehog Clutch is 3D-printed, similar to the previous designs and it even captures all of the spikey details along the top.
The bag itself is actually made from resin materials and all the curves and quills that make up the body are translated in a realistic form. The top pops open which unveils a compartment to stash all of users' personal items. The bag is priced at $890 and is part of the larger Best in Show collection of tees and hoodies themed around the hedgehog.
