Transparent bags

Transparent bags are still going strong. In the trend of exposing all our bits and pieces for everyone to see, clear vinyls and plastics are a key new material for accents and the main body materials. Try combining leather and tinted vinyl for an updated look.

CLEAR CLUTCH

You can have a bit of fun with fashion. Check out this clear clutch with a bit of a child-hood twist. Fashion meets fantasy. I really love it and the current trend towards transparent materials in accessories. You would hardly want to put anything inside though. Just a few crucial fashion items.

PLASTIC GROCERY BAGS

I have seen several high end interpretations of these iconic styles, done in leather and other luxury materials. They have a shabby, grunge feel about them. My fascination with these disposable shopping bags, especially when i first came across them in China town in NYC.

Someone else shares my fascination. As featured on trendland.com

Translucent Satchel

The Cambridge satchel company has set the tone for this long living trend of satchels. We've seen bright pop colours, neon and now we have this translucent style. None of the lux details are lost in the leather trim. A nice bag spotted at London Fashion week ss13.

POLKA DOT PLASTIC BAG

Its just a plastic shopping back, but it has style. It reminds me of the comme des garcons wallet that i want. Maybe i'll have to make do with the plastic bag.

FUCK YOU PLASTIC BAG

This post goes out to the person who nicked my wallet on saturday night.

METALLIC TYVEK BAGS

I had been meaning to post these bags, they are made from tyvek which is that papery - plasticky stuff that we have seen a lot of especially in white, where it really looks like paper, its the same stuff that fedex envelopes are made from, really hard to tear and super strong but really light weight.


Anyway, this is the first time i have seen it in metallics so i thought that would be worth a mention. And sorry, becuase this image has been sitting on my desktop for so long, i don't have a credit for it,... oops.

MOULDY LUNCH BAG

Ant-theft lunch bags.



I fear this would put me off eating my own lunch. This could be a good thing for dieters.

JOHN GALLIANO SPRING/SUMMER 2010

Is it just me or are these bags by Galliano taking credit crunch fashion to a new level?

Chanel expose-all bags

Chanel on sale for £5.99 at Tesco! Well thats what it could look like. This crazy design reminds me of the toy packs that you get for kids at xmas from Toys R us with the kiddy versions of all the adult accessories.


This is a really cute inventive idea, and i'm sure very press worthy and eye catching. I have been going through the Autumn / winter 2009 catwalks and things are looking really grim in the accessory area. There doesn't seem to be anything interesting at all going on - except this - Chanel transparent bag, which i love.


This is the pretty-in-pinnk version. It comes packed with Chanel goodies such as the Chanel I-pod, specs, eye-shadow, Chanel 2.55 classic handbag and its all put together in a plastic transparent casing for all to admire and bound together by the signature (and often copied) Chanel leather woven chain.

Plastic Shopping Bags

As more and more people move towards fabric recyclable shopping bags, these plastic ones will be phased out. So here is a collection of plastic shopping bags, soon to be extinct.
