They weren’t too pleased with this drop.
Harry Styles fans have mixed feelings about the latest collaboration between the singer’s brand Pleasing and fashion designer JW Anderson, shocked by the phallic-looking keychain and the sticker price of the collection.
The “Precious Metals” drop, which launched Thursday, includes nail polishes, sweatshirts, knits, tees, a handbag and — perhaps the most contentious addition — a glittering phallic keychain that costs a whopping $290.
The X-rated leather keyring — available with either pink or yellow rhinestone embellishments — retails for even more on JW Anderson’s website, coming in at $355.
The charm raised eyebrows online, as fans took to social media to express their thoughts, with many users bristling at the cost, saying the “keychain better vibrate or do backflips or something” for that price.
Others, however, were upset that Styles released a penis-shaped keychain before his fourth studio album, calling the accessory “crazy,” “wild” and “unhinged.”
“Doing a Disney collab then dropping a penis keychain the collab after is crazy work,” one Redditor wrote online, referencing the Pleasing partnership with Disney just mere months ago.
“Pleasing making a keychain in the shape of a d–k wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card,” another baffled fan wrote on TikTok.
“It’s an expensive wang at that,” an additional commentator chimed in.
“It’s more expensive than two show tickets combined,” lamented another, referencing the ticket prices for Styles’ past “Love on Tour” shows.
But it wasn’t just the keychains that bothered fans. They decried the sticker prices of an $890 knit cardigan, a $210 sheer balloon long-sleeve shirt, a$135 tee and a $990 Bumper bag, which is already sold out on Pleasing’s site.
“You cannot convince me Pleasing isn’t a social experiment to see just how badly Harries [Styles fans] will literally eat up ANYTHING to do with him,” one user snarked.
The Post has reached out to Pleasing for comment.
The phallic shape of the keychain is a common design theme in Anderson’s work — which includes penis pendants, earrings, charms and coin purses. A collaboration with Anderson, according to Pleasing’s creative director Harry Lambert, is a dream come true.
“JW Anderson has always been at the top of our list for collaboration,” Lambert told Vogue.
“It felt like such a perfect mash-up of brands. [Harry and I] both love Jonathan’s aesthetic and the humor and joy shown within JW Anderson collections is something that really resonates with Pleasing. Their use of illustrations, color, and emotion are so linked to Pleasing.”
Lambert also told Dazed that the two brands are “aligned” in their “point of view, creativity and energy.”
“As a stylist, I’ve had the joy and privilege of working with Jonathan over the years, and of course, so has our founder, Harry, who is a big supporter and wearer of Jonathan’s work,” he said.
