Quvenzhané Wallis has been carrying her signature puppy purses, made by Poochie & Co., throughout the awards season. But after she wore a stuffed Yorkie version to the Oscars last night, the company’s sales saw “an exponential upsurge,” a rep told TMZ today. The purse was custom-made for Wallis and included a tutu and jeweled tiara. (The Yorkie isn’t available online, but the cocker spaniel ones are pretty cute, and there are poodle and bulldog options too.) So, how many of them were purchased for adults?
