what it’s about
We are already longing for the sunny season and are turning our attention to lighter colors that instantly spice up any outfit. The color pop bag is a statement piece that should not be missing in any wardrobe. The models range from classic handbags to shoulder bags and clutches. First and foremost, they consist of a single, eye-catching color and thus bring joy and utility p – an eye-catcher in which all daily necessities find their place.
Why the bag is a good choice
No matter the season, you can never go wrong with a pop of color. The colorful bag has been around for a while and it keeps popping up in modernized designs that are constantly evolving. A big advantage of this colorful bag trend is that it changes and comes back every year. What makes the bag particularly attractive is that it adapts to every season: in summer it reflects the warm days and in winter it brightens up the gray months. Its versatility gives it the status of a timeless accessory that we will continue to see on the shelves every year.
where we saw them
The product was popularized by Italian fashion house Bottega Veneta, who applied its signature green color to the bags of its SS22 collection. The color pop bag found its way into numerous fashion houses for the coming season and established itself as one of the most important accessories of the year.
Color blocking in general also became a consistent trend on the catwalks, with Richard Malone and Dior featuring bold designs in their collections. Alongside the clean-lined garments, Dior also presented a selection of miniature handbags that, despite their size, drew attention through the use of vibrant colors. Richard Malone opted for handbags, each paired with garments in complementary hues. In the Resort 22 collection by Nina Ricci, on the other hand, the bags were styled to contrast with the clothing. The oversized shoppers and tote bags in bright blue, yellow and orange stood out against the holiday backdrop.
How to style them
If you let yourself be inspired by the numerous designers who have picked up the accessories trend this season, it makes sense to integrate the color blocking trend into your own outfits as well. Color blocking is a simple technique that can be implemented in a number of ways. On the one hand, you can use the color of the bag for the entire outfit, so that the shade makes a clear statement from head to toe. Another variation is to bring opposite colors together using at least two tones that are either from the same color family or contrasting. A third option would be to match the color of the bag with a tone from the print of another garment. Subtle use of matching hues brings an outfit together in a complementary way and allows for daring prints to be worn.
The Color Pop bag is an essential part of any wardrobe. With its strong colors, it brings life to every outfit, whether it’s an everyday look or a fancy one. Their increasing popularity, fueled by the increase in designer offerings, confirms their place in people’s view for the coming season. It comes in a variety of styles and colors, so there’s something for everyone. The versatility of the bag also allows it to be worn in any season.
