Bags – A beautiful piece for you!

The best companion, fashion item and object of desire. Bags are never just useful. Our favorite bag accompanies us on our first date, at work and on our travels. It becomes part of our own beauty in everyday life and on special occasions. This also applies to men, who increasingly value the ultimate must-haves.

Cell phone, money, keys, sunglasses – everything? OK. The eternal companion swings loosely over the shoulder, keeping the most important things close at hand. One thing is clear: whether it’s a clutch, a body bag, a carryall or a weekend bag, a bag is an integral part of an outfit and an expression of one’s lifestyle. What is fashionable is not only determined by fashion. Contemporary and social trends also influence the accessories we like to adorn ourselves with.

Handbags as an investment
Who does not know the fuss about the hottest designs of the season? On the big catwalks, brands such as Chanel, Gucci, Hermès, Prada or Louis Vuitton inspire fashionistas around the world with their fancy It bags. However, at least as exciting as the new collections is the fact that luxury handbags such as watches and jewelry are also being traded as investments. Fueled by social media hype, a market has developed here, with second-hand accessories sometimes yielding lucrative returns. If you bought a Louis Vuitton “Speedy” in 1980 for the equivalent of 130 euros, today you can ask for up to 900 euros. And that’s just the beginning. The top models of the major fashion houses now cost between 5,000 and 350,000 euros and more.

Current Bag Trends
Dazzling luxury items are popular for some, but dispensable for others. Whether it’s because of cost, because you simply don’t identify with them, or for any other reason. One thing is clear: in order to keep up with current trends, we don’t have to rely on the big names in fashion and design, but can instead choose from many different suppliers.

As it turns out, parts of the fashion world are already starting to slow down a bit. Changes, such as the apparent move away from ‘fast fashion’, are making collections more sustainable and stylishly durable. As a result, designers are carefully developing their novelties and making them versatile.

On the other hand, there is a natural style characterized by exciting decorations with an original touch. Handmade whipstitch or woven front pockets, such as the Bull&Hunt “Paula” style, look both casual and elegant. On the other hand, long tassels and hard rock elements, such as thick metal chains and eyelets, give the bags a wild, bold look.

Chain bags are both chunky and sophisticated. Great: If you want to add a bit of fun to your favorite bag, you can use a new chain to great effect at a fraction of the cost, as in the case of Volker Lang’s “TwistTwins” collection.

In terms of shapes and volumes, on the one hand, spacious models such as oversized and bucket bags are taking over. On the other hand, small, smart wraps have become a favorite among men and women. They are worn diagonally and dominate the current street scene. Smaller, but just as chic, are the multi-faceted cell phone bags. As “everyday clutches”, they provide space for all the essentials and are also a very stylish gadget.

Color, color, color!
Casual basics and eye-catching bags: French women aren’t the only ones who know that accessories are what create the perfect look. Whether a matching bag should be understated or fancy may be a matter of personal style. But there is no doubt that strong colors create strong looks. For this reason, designers have unfolded a wonderful palette of bright shades.

Currently, the color green is very popular, embodying autonomy, dignity, hope, nature and emerging life. In addition, brands like Chi Chi Fan are inspired by bright colors like yellow and orange, which convey the joy of living and optimism. It’s good to know: which color has which meaning varies from culture to culture. But the world seems to agree on one thing: across the planet, blue is the favorite color of both men and women.
