Bags: new trends
A few hints on new trends for spring/summer 2009
For the coming season, big fashion houses thought of three leading lines: crocodile or “safari” shades; extravagant patterns; the timeless interlaced design that winds in a summer mood.
Let’s start with crocodile. To suggest it, it’s the new Shirò collection. Twisted-handled lady bags, shoppers, micro-pochettes and tube-shaped skirts in bon ton style, elaborated through unique techniques, among which the fumé effect, obtained through a hand-made padding on the original crocodile fabric.
Refined fabrics and particular geometries also for Zufi Alexander’s spring/summer 2009 collection that suggests, among other news, a colour and fabric revision of the “Kiss me baby bag”, the favourite bag of celebrities like Sienna Miller e Catherine Heigl.
Among the last creations of Alexander are the “Fashionista bag”, a funny oversize bag characterized by the word Fashionista and by icons such as the Eiffel Tower and New York’s apple, and the “Intrecciata”, a wide basket made of soft leather bands, available in pastel or vibrant colours.
Another version of “interlaced” patterns is offered by the creations of Bottega Veneta. The Cruise 2009 collection exclusive bags are joyful chessboards whose graphic is obtained through the intersection of lamb or crocodile leather bands with other bands of different colours.
With regard to “cruise” collections, also Chanel celebrated, for the occasion, a real marriage between tradition and colours. Soft leathers together with sober chains, shoulder straps and fastenings, are inspired from the classic quilted patterns, and many models, such as clutch and pochette, faithfully hark back to the very famous box of Chanel perfumes or to the elegance proper of the Maison. There are, however, more daring models too, such as the multicolour-clothed pochette, featuring a heart-shaped CC brooch, and that in black crocodile decorated with pearls of the Lesage Maison.
Tradition and renovation for Bric’s coming season too. Besides the Concept Life Collection, featuring the famous Life Collection characterized by a classic suede cloth, the Safari Collection, still mostly characterized by coconut prints, and the Life Leather Collection, extremely soft vegetable-tanned leather, Bric created new collections: Life Python and Python, Canvas, Deer, Mimesis Fiocco, Silver ideal for sea adventures, and X-Bag perfect for enjoying comfort while travelling.
Timeless is also Piero Guidi’s Interlaced Pattern, which gave birth, for this coming season, to a soft gritty leather, available in five different versions: three in “safari” shades and two in plain black and white. The interlaced pattern recalls “saddle” collections, giving thus space to the featuring of straps and rings. Among his newest creations, the Guidi House enriched its classic collection Magic Circus Classic with brand new collections: Magic Circus Seasonal, Soft, Leather and Shiny.
Among the most extravagant creations, it is worth mentioning the eco-leather collection signed by Zippo Original, of which we point out, in particular, the new men collection.
For women, Orobianco Group presents two collections “Etichettarosa”: Zucchero, which offers bags for any occasion of the day, candid, pleated, extremely light available in different shapes and colours; and Dada, whose accessories are dedicated to the pleasure and vanity of mothers that go for a walk with their baby in the stroller. Also in this case, we find semi-polished leathers and crocodile.
And for the puppy, Orobianco presents Fido, the bag conceived to carry dogs coordinated with the stroller. To the best friend of man, Gucci too gave a thought, offering a small bag to elegantly carry small dogs: it is provided with iconic green and red handles, with a double sided opening, a removable pillow, washable fabrics, and with a short-clipped leash.
Among the most glamorous and deluxe exemplars of the year, the Hermes ‘Birkin Himalayan’ bag shown off by Victoria Beckham on the occasion of the husband’s debut in Dubai. 90.000 euro is the cost of this bag, which is one of three exemplars worldwide, thoroughly inset with diamonds: one of which, three carats, is inset on the fastening.
