We’ve seen celebrities wearing animal print handbags, especially jungle print, quite often recently. Whether it’s a leather or patent leather handbag, a leopard, tiger, or zebra print seems to be popular. To advance this trend somewhat, designers are doing variations on animal prints. Aside from mixing up the colors, which we saw on a handbag worn by Dita von Teese a few weeks ago, bolder shades are being incorporated into standard animal print patterns. One animal print handbag, a blue leopard print Dolce and Gabbana handbag creates a distinct variation on this trend that manages to be subdued but bold. While the blogger at Purse Page doesn’t think much of this particular tote, it, by itself, indicates a possible trend for 2010.
If you’re looking for a similar but affordable style, Best Handbag Wholesale and other affordable or wholesale brands carry such designs. In the case of BHW, they have a similar patent leather tote bag with zebra stripes. A pink and black zebra print handbag offers the same type of variation seen above with the Dolce and Gabbana tote. In this case, the statement made by the bag is completely bold, without anything subdued about it.
Animal prints are one of the latest trends at the moment. Patent leather is, to an extent, and the BHW zebra print handbag incorporates both popular trends. If animal print, as we saw with the snakeskin handbags last week, wants to stick around, it needs to evolve. Consumers aren’t going to stay with a basic leopard print handbag like it’s 1987 and, instead, want something new. Standard animal prints are still a visible trend, as seen by the other products in BHW’s selection, but, as with all trends, it doesn’t last forever. Pink – or purple or blue – zebra print keeps this trend somewhat afloat by putting a new spin on the old.
