Balenciaga’s history of viral accessories

This isn’t the first time Balenciaga has made headlines for its unconventional designs. Earlier, the fashion house became the talk of the internet with its viral Lay’s potato chip bag clutch and the infamous garbage bag purse, which was launched as part of its Autumn/Winter 2022 collection.

The Favicon for the website, dogsandpurses(dot)com, features an all-black background with a minimalist line drawing of a puppy's head poking out of a stylish purse. The puppy's head is drawn with a cute and friendly expression, making it the focal point of the design. The purse, which the puppy is emerging from, is depicted with clean, elegant lines. The contrast between the black background and the white line drawing creates a striking and modern look for the Favicon.
