I was SO excited to see that Vogue have provided a readers choice for which bag should be crowned the historical 'IT' bag for 2015! I love how fashion has become so digital and interactive for the consumer, as I would NEVER be able to afford these bags in a million years (but we can all dream) and yet it is still accessible for me to have my opinion- it will give an opportunity for reaching a wider audience therefore showing which bag really deserves the title!
I opened the page and was greeted by the countdown page until the vote with begin with the #ITBAG2015, this instantly peaked my interest to search through all the bags and pick my favourite! I scrolled through all of the bags to decide and no surprise all of the bags are absolutely beautiful- with some amazing innovative ideas which I loved! It took a while but I finally narrowed my choice down to two immediate favourites:
1. Candidate #1: Valentino, Top Handle Bag
How amazing is this bag!? It is so beautifully designed and I love how it would stand out in an outfit but would not over (flower) power it!
The bag in my opinion seems to be 60's-70's inspired with the shapes and designs very similar to the style in that era, and the bags tagline being "flower power to the people" - AMAZING and is so clever to market the bag this way, as the people after all will be deciding #ITBAG2015!
I love that the colours in this bag are earth tones compared to the 60's-70's renown bright colours, as this will make the bag more versatile and it puts a twist for the new style of flower power.
I think of the bright colours from the original 60's-70's are colours you would find in a tropical exotic forest where you travelled to specifically to view. Whereas the new style is almost like amazing flowers blooming from an woodland which you accidently stumbled across but is equally as breath-taking if not more due to the unexpected aspect.
I can not believe how accurately the ad campaign demonstrated what I felt when I saw this bag, with the large white flowers, woodland and just stumbling across the bag, it made the bag seem magical almost like it was made by Valentino woodland Fairies!
The style of this bag seems to be practical and I could envisage this bag becoming popular among the rich and famous as a medium-sized practical bag with a twist, and will add an extra "kick" to an outfit!
Overall this bag is absolutely beautiful and I'm sure even if it isn't crowned the 'it' bag it will still be a must have bag of 2015 to those who could afford it!
2. Candidate #8: Céline, Curve Bag
When I first saw this bag it instantly caught my eye!!
I LOVE the fact it is simple in style but stands out due to the unusual curve shape and design- it still manages to catch my eye more than some of the other 'brighter' or 'louder' bags because it is very futurist in design but still has a real emphasis on elegance and simplicity, which I think is representative of the Céline brand.
The campaign ad is total genius! What speaks 2015 like social interaction via technology?! This era is known for it's digital world! The ad displays a message between two people discussing how this bag deserves the title! I think it's a very relatable as when I love something I would share it to my friends and send messages very similar like "look at these shoes I've just brought!!" or "How amazing is this dress?" therefore I think it would subliminally activate the same emotion from the person who watches this ad of when they have previously sent a similar message of something that they LOVED, and promote the bag to be loved equally! Inventive but simple- similar to the bag itself- perfect representation.
When I left the Vogue page this is the bag I remembered the most. I think the reason is because it's unexpected!!! I don't automatically associate that image with a bag!? It is so innovative in design! If I just saw that picture I would assume it was something to do with horses perhaps... However it's just such a understated statement piece definitely aligning with the bags tagline: "The shape of things to come!!
I think this bag would appeal to everyone!! It's simple yet it is still such a statement piece due to the unique curve shape! I can imagine this bag to be a popular favourite with the Kardashian and Jenner clan, as well as other celebrities!
FINALLY my vote!!! I will be voting for Candidate #8: Céline, Curve Bag- I just could not forget this bag and I think the total uniqueness inspires and will continue to inspire in 2015!
I wish all the designers the best of luck as all the bags were beautiful!!
All opinions are my own personal opinions! :)
I hope you enjoy the read and will vote for your favourite- I would love to hear others opinions too! :D
Lots of love
