Trendstop brings FashionUnited readers an insight into the key bag directions for the Fall Winter 2022-23 season.
The new season’s bag designs are reinvented by taking the best elements of the core themes and connecting them together. Seasonality and practicality are the key to longevity. Utilitarianism is refined as the designers combine comfort and functionality with superior craftsmanship, premium quality and beautiful vintage design elements.
Global vintage crafts
Reimagined vintage shapes meet global artisanal details. Elements of high-quality vintage design such as luxurious structures and sophisticated colors merge with an earthy, traditional handcrafted sensitivity. Puristic, minimal shapes are embellished with leather and metal blends, elaborate tassel detailing or accent patterns that accentuate shape and form while highlighting the artistry of the craftsman.
Lightly padded & patterned
As the comfort factor remains high among consumers, cozy winter padding is becoming more and more seasonal with lighter, less bulky shapes. Materials feel fluid while technical fabrics are made more fashionable with prints, patterns and colors. Traditional quilting follows new lines and abstracted flowers highlight soft shapes with padding and oversized proportions.
Redesigned vintage utility
Functional, practical bag models are refined through the use of vintage allusions. Refined vintage colors, glossy finishes and intricate folds add heightened fashion interest. The use of individual colors and smooth surfaces underscores the clear, no-frills lines and refines the practical details of tote bags and belt bags.
