# Strapped Sports Ball Bags These Functional Ball Bags by Guillem Ferran are Perfect for Athletes By Jen Chae | Published 2013-07-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ball-bags References: [guillemferran](http://www.guillemferran.com/DESIGNS/index.english.html) These spherically shaped ball bags by Spanish designer Guillem Ferran are for fashionable athletes. The exterior mimics the shape and pattern of a soccer ball, while the empty interior can be used to store just about anything. The ball bags can be used to carry soccer balls or just casual belongings. The unisex design is a playful take on the soccer ball. Attached to long straps, the ball bag hangs off your shoulders without losing its soccer ball form. Besides the classic black and white soccer ball look, Guillem Ferran has created multiple other ball-esque designs that are less blatantly sporty. The brown purses come with shorter straps, though they maintain the hexagonal soccer ball print. These ball bags would be the perfect gift idea for soccer lovers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Functional Ball Bags:** There is an opportunity for designers to create functional ball bags that can be used to carry any kind of sports gear, not just soccer balls, while still maintaining a sporty aesthetic. - **Unisex Sporty Accessories:** There is potential for designers to create unisex sporty accessories that are stylish and functional, appealing to a broader audience beyond just athletes. - **Eco-friendly Sports Gear Bags:** There is an opportunity for designers to create eco-friendly sports gear bags that are both functional and sustainable, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sports Equipment:** Sports equipment companies can explore creating functional ball bags as a new product line to expand their offerings and appeal to fashion-conscious athletes. - **Fashion Accessories:** Fashion accessory companies can explore creating unisex sporty accessories to appeal to consumers looking for functional yet stylish bags with a sporty aesthetic. - **Sustainable Products:** Sustainable product companies can explore creating eco-friendly sports gear bags that are both functional and fashionable to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers in the sports and fashion industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Baseball-Inspired Bag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baseball-crossbody-bag.md) - [Square-Shaped Soccer Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unplayaball.md) - [Soccer Jersey-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciagas-soccer-series.md) - [Upcycled Couch Sports Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/off-the-couch-bags.md) - [Deconstructed Eroded Soccer Balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deconstructed-soccer-ball.md) - [Customizable Tennis Player Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cancha-court-modular-bags.md) - [Basketball-Shaped Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-baller.md) - [Luxury Italian Gym Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardgraft-team-gym-bag.md) - [Celebrity-Coveted Travel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprayground-offers.md)
