What handbags will be big in AW/05?

[faust]

there's going to be a python version of the paddington, so i'm sure that will be hot:

i also think new vuitton bags will be flying out of stores too, and maybe the gucci velvet embossed bags.

Yep, that's a pretty big bag. But I've seen bigger bags. I've seen some big totes, like the ones in supermarkets, those are huge!!!

I wanna say I hope the Dior Detective bags will be popular because they're some of the most classic and least logofied bags Dior has done in years....but alas, if it gets popular then comes the knock-off, the waiting list, the "status symbol" apppeal of it and I wouldn't want that to happen.

And I still say that Bottega Veneta is due for some recognition. Granted the clothes aren't always great but the bags are beyond luxurious.

The Paddington will still charge into F/W because of the S/S hype around it, same with Balenciaga. The Dior Detective is just getting off the ground so I think it will hit it's stride in F/W. The Spy will continue it's run, Karl has some lovely versions. Those Gucci bags will fly off the shelves, they are stunning. Mulberry will finally come to the states, Im surprised they already haven't hit the states.

I dont think the FW LV's are going to move very well, they're so moody for Lindsay, Paris or Jessica. I could see them on Uma, SJP and Kirsten Dunst, but they aren't pop-trash fashion icons.

I totally agree with the paddington. If chloe would make a brown python paddington, I'll bug every chloe boutique to get one and ignore what my hubby has to say! LOL

gucci velvet embossed bags - can anyone post pics of this bag?
and i hope the paddington is still going strong - i just bought the bag and hate to thing that it's "over" in a matter of months! (although i'd probably still love it anyway)

I do not think the Dior Detective, or any Dior bag for that matter, will ever rise to the same popularity that the Saddles did years ago. Most of the designer bags that have been big lately are particularly designed not to look like designer bags. Dior embodies what a designer bag looks like, so it is a hard sell now-a-days. Mullberry bags have been in the US at Bergdorf's and Barney's for a year or so already, and a lot of chic NY women have been carrying them. However, until a celeb has one in every color and style, the rest of the country will not follow, but I am sure it will happen soon. The Paddington, even with all its hype, is not really anywhere near as big as say a Le Dix or a Mombasa, or a Baguette. Those bags are the type that you see EVERYONE with for a season, but I haven't seen many paddingtons, so my hope, and guess, is that they will not be that big next season.

I think Hermes bags are too expensive, inaccessible, and limited to ever take off and be considered mainstream popular.

Btw, to Paddington bag fans - the bags will come in 3 sizes and the bag they show in the pictures is the medium sized one (14 inches wide). Colors are dark brown, tan and black.

Taitai - Hermes bags are supposed to be too expensive, inaccessible & limited - that's what the brand is all about - e.g. Birkin wait list and special bags only accessible by VVIP.

If they were $20/pop and available everywhere, it wouldn't be as appealing.

In fact, sort of the same mentality can be applied to the Paddington bags. A couple of months ago, net-a-porter had many in stock and then wham-bam, fashion mags started to promote it and guess what happened....

 

[hermes_lemming]

yup..epi is great and understated..not wanna-be trendy like the rest of the logo crazed LV lines.

That's exactly why I bought one!

 

[hermes_lemming]

I doubt that will ever happen. There aren't enough bags to be on sale.

The only brands that EVER go on sale are those that overproduce & mass-market (e.g. not LV nor Hermes!smartass:

Fendi bags

Hey what you guys think of the Fendi Spy bag I love it!!!!!

Uhh........I'm aware of the Hermes marketing ploy, given that I own a few Hermes bags including a birkin of which I posted a picture here sometime back.

I believe if you read my post clearly, what I was trying to say was that Hermes bags could never be mainstream popular unlike Balenciaga and Chloe bags. If you have enough money and resourcefulness you can buy and find Balenciaga and Chloe bags but Hermes bags are of such limited quantity that the miniscule quantity makes it impossible or difficult to get the bag that you want (even if you can sometimes afford it.)

this is cuuute One

I think Paddington will still be big next season. I wouldn't compare Paddington with Le Dix, though, because 1) Paddington is just at its first season; 2) Le Dix was not this hot until a few years after its first introduction. Although the Paddington is not a limited editon bag, it is not a mass production one either.

I haven't seen Paddingtons around either
I guess that's because there are not too many made?

Oops - Obviously I didn't read the post cleary (well, then again, how coherent can one be in the wee hours of the ultra late night/too early morning.) My apologies for any offense given. It was trully unintentional.

Oh, no need for the apology, no offense taken!!

Balenciaga Queen - To answer your question about the boxy Chloe bag - it is a Paddington bag. The style that is the most popular is the East West Paddington bag (the one with the huge lock). I think the name of the style you like is the Vanity. Someone had a picture of the small Paddington bag in black (from the Chloe runway show) - this one has a smaller padlock on the side.

Love them all.
