Paper Bags: The New “It” Bag?
Edited by Missa Stumpf, TrendSpotter/ Designer
Hold on to your shopping bags, because they may just be the next, big accessory to carry around. Teens in Tokyo, Japan have created a paper bag trend in the city, by using the bags as actual accessories to carry their every-day items in. Don’t think you can get away with carrying just any bag around, though. This rising trend follows the same rule of fashion as any other—the bigger the brand, the better.
It’s highly doubtful that this will fully replace anyone’s favorite Marc Jacobs tote, but it is a fun and eco-friendly way of sporting a designer brand.
Paper? Plastic? How about leather! I was wondering when someone was going to craft this cute little bag, and now it’s all yours, made exclusively by Ramon Middelkoop. For $82, you can finally save yourself the embarrassment of passing someone on the street with the same bag! But be careful…you don’t want to look like that fat-ass who’s always getting Twinkies and Ho Hos at the grocery store!
