The Knicks’ MVP accessory has landed in the Guggenheim.

Jordyn Woods’ lucky orange clutch will go on view at the museum’s third-floor Café Rebay from Wednesday through June 28.

It’s a victory lap of sorts for the accessory Knicks fans spent the postseason calling their good-luck charm — one which helped carry the team to their first NBA championship in 53 years.

“The Guggenheim is one of my favorite places, and I never imagined that something I designed would one day be on view at the museum,” Woods, 28, said in a press release.

The museum teased the news Tuesday with an Instagram video starring Woods and director Mariët Westermann, soundtracked by fiancé Karl-Anthony Towns’ post-Game 5 quote: “The bag did its thang tonight! I ain’t gon’ lie to you. We gotta put this in like the Whitney or the Guggenheim.”

The museum took him up on the suggestion.

“This bag is the first ever clutch that actually became clutch,” Westermann said in the release.

The $125 Tux Clutch Mini comes from WAG’s own label, Woods by Jordyn; she sampled the faux-ostrich design in orange for the playoffs, and quickly became the team’s unofficial good-luck charm.

The Knicks bounded through a 13-game winning streak, which came to an end at Game 3 at Madison Square Garden. That same night, Woods was forced to leave the clutch at home thanks to a no-bag policy for President Donald Trump’s attendance.

The clutch returned for Games 4 and 5, and so did the wins.

Woods brought the bag back out for the June 18 championship parade, pairing it with white jeans embroidered with “Mrs. Towns” across the back.

Kylie Jenner, recently reunited with longtime pal Woods, dropped an “omgggggggg 🧡” in the comments of the Guggenheim’s reveal.

Woods, who got engaged to Towns on Christmas Day after five years together, also predicted the championship months in advance with a “This is Our Year” Amazon capsule launched in December 2025.
