Where does girl grip come from?
Girl grip appears to have arisen in the early to mid-2020s. The term claw grip is also sometimes used for the same ability/phenomenon.
Everywhere you look, women have their hands full. They are clutching water bottles, phones, cups of matcha and wallets. Now that it’s summer, sunglasses dangle off the pinkies of already stuffed hands. Never mind that women’s handbags, where these items could theoretically live, make up an entire industry and that bigger bags, in particular, are having a moment. The phenomenon, in which women are gripping their necessities without the aid of pockets or bags, is called the claw grip, and on social media, it has been crowned as a secret superpower.
