There are plenty of fish in the sea of accessories but not as fishy as these! Japanese designer Atelier Iwakiri puts a lot of effort and countless hours into these handcrafted bags and makes them look like lifelike goldfish.

But why the goldfish, you ask? These fish have been an important part of Japanese culture for hundreds of years. People believe that they can bring you luck, wisdom and power.

The meticulous process of these symbolic and stylish bags takes from two weeks to six months. That’s why the bag costs around 1000 dollars.

You can order it here (but you might need a Google translator, as the site is only in Japanese).
