Fake Magazine Bag

Retro Magazine Clutches are Back

— April 23, 2008 — Fashion
The return of retro continues to be strong in the fashion industry, and it's exciting to see old styles make themselves available for purchase again. One of the most delicious comebacks is that of the 1970s Magazine Clutch!

They're plastic-coated and made to look like folded magazines. There's a good chance you'd actually be able to fool some people into thinking you were carrying a copy of Vogue, and not your precious wallet, keys and iPhone. The clasp at the top of the bag, along with the sealed sides, keep your content safe and secure, while letting you display your sartorial savvy.

A chic vintage fashion cover is the best way to flaunt your impeccable flare for knowing how to revive a good thing!

A bunch of designers have recreated these bags, including Patricia Field, an American Academy Award-nominated fashion designer and the costume director of Sex and the City, among other Hollywood projects.

Trend Themes
1. Retro-style Fashion - The comeback of retro-style fashion presents opportunities for businesses to capitalize on nostalgia marketing.
2. Novelty Accessories - The popularity of fake magazine clutches opens up possibilities for other novelty accessories that appeal to the fashion-forward consumer.
3. Sustainable Fashion - Retro-style fashion can also align with the growing demand for sustainable fashion through the repurposing of vintage designs.
Industry Implications

2. Retail - Retailers can capitalize on the nostalgia trend by incorporating more retro-style items and novelty accessories into their product offerings.
