What indeed?

The Phryges, likened by French newspaper Libération to a “clitoris in trainers”, are “courageous, playful and ready to do anything to get France moving”, the Paris 2024 organisers said, inviting consumers to please visit their online shop where stuffed versions of the smiling, big-eyed triangles are on sale from €20 a pop.
