The rat bag is now part of the Thom Browne Animal Icons collection. It also includes leather goods in the form of a giraffe, elephant, hippopotamus, monkey, lion, pig and sheep. All of them are a continuation of the idea with a dachshund bag named Hector (this is the name of the York designer's dog, which even has its own Instagram profile), released in the summer of 2019.

However, if the cost of each item from the Animal Icons collection on the Farfetch website varies from 58,240 to 284,100 rubles, then a small rat bag will cost 295,200 rubles. According to The Cut, the price is due to the labor-intensive production of the accessory: it takes at least three full working days to assemble each copy.
“The patterns for all the bags were created by one very experienced and talented craftsman in Italy,” the newspaper quotes the words of the representative of Thom Browne. "He was the only one who could build accurate models so that the bags not only resemble animals, but were also functional."
