Yes its true, I have a serious handbag addiction. I would happily argue that every girl needs a handbag in at least every shade of the rainbow, and that no two brown leather bags are the same. But now I have a new genre of handbags to add to my hoard. Quirky handbags have been making appearances all over the fashion world.
Blake Lively was pictured at the ‘Age of Adaline’ premiere in New York just a few weeks ago in an elegant red evening gown by Monique Lhuillier, but what did she decide to accessorise it with? A koi carp fish bag, of course. And it seems Blake isn’t the only fashionista who knows that quirky bags are the must have this season. Moschino leads the way in all things fun, presenting their collection of fantastical handbags including French fries bags, radio shaped weekend bags and miniature jacket handbags.
But offering cute alternatives are Superdip London. Their products consist of metallic mermaid shell bags (I confess this is now sat in my handbag collection) and bottle bags labeled ‘Unicorn tears’.
However if you can’t imagine teaming your favourite little black dress with a hamburger bag, why not add some new life and fun into your existing bags? William Gee offers a great range of lace trims suitable for any project and to add to your bag, offering a toned down version of the trend.
I can’t wait to wear my mermaid bag and make a splash! Now, just to find the right shoes…
