We're Gonna Need Bigger Merch! Loungefly Apparel Reveals New Jaws Line (EXCLUSIVE)
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...
Did you know that Steven Spielberg's Jaws has been terrifying audiences for almost half a century? Where have all the years gone, you might be asking yourself? One could argue they've been swallowed whole by that great white shark known as the passage of time. With the original summer blockbuster turning 49 this year, Loungefly is celebrating the occasion with a fresh line of apparel inspired by the celebrated maritime thriller that established a young Spielberg as one of Hollywood's brightest storytellers.
SYFY WIRE has an exclusive first look at the sharp-toothed products — hot off an Amity Island conveyor belt — which incorporate a number of key elements from the Universal Pictures classic: rippling ocean waves; the Orca vessel captained by Robert Shaw's Quint; the ill-fated swimmer from the theatrical poster; the opening notes of John Williams' iconically ominous score; and, of course, the pesky shark. All three are guaranteed to make you the coolest person at the beach this summer. Just keep an eye out for suspicious-looking fins...
The three items go on sale next month!

On the front, blue appliqué waves with soft blue embroidered "caps" bob beneath the pointed appliqué of a shark’s head inspired by the iconic film from Universal Pictures. The mouth is open, revealing sharp teeth — and a pink boat. In the dark, the stars, boat, and teeth all glow! On the back, you’ll find embroidered soft blue "waves," and the words "Da-Dum, Da-Dum, Da-Dum" appearing in print. A shark’s fin "swims" between them.

Dimensions: 10”W x 6”H x 4”D
The Jaws Crossbody Bag features a fresh and unexpected summer color palette in pink, turquoise blue, and soft gray. The bag takes on a "duffel" shape, and one side-edge forms the head of the shark inspired by the blockbuster film. Appliqué details for the teeth, and embroidery for the eyes, make its features come to life. There’s also a zipped compartment on the shark’s lower jaw, which is perfect for storing smaller items on your journeys. A detachable coin purse, shaped and decorated like an "Amity Island" life preserver, adds convenience as well as a fun nod to the setting from the movie. On the back, an appliqué shark fin rises from the blue water.

The Jaws Mini Backpack features a fresh and unexpected summer color palette in pale pink, turquoise blue, and soft gray. The front zipped pocket is shaped like the pointed nose and mouth of the infamous shark featured in the classic movie. The teeth are die-cut appliqués, and within their grip, you’ll find the signature Loungefly plaque. Embroidered eyes and nostrils add realistic details. Scalloped appliqué waves in turquoise, with embroidered "caps" in soft pink, rise up behind the shark. Near the top, you’ll find the light pink silhouette of a boat "bobbing" on the waves. In the background, the moon and stars hang — and in the dark, they glow — along with the shark’s teeth! On the back, a print reads, "Da-Dum, Da-Dum, Da-Dum" with a shark’s fin "swimming" among the letters.
Features:
- Vegan leather (polyurethane)
