# Burlap Graffiti Fashion Miu Miu Makes Burlap Dresses Punchy for Spring ‘09 By Rachel | Published 2009-04-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burlap-miu-miu-spring-09 References: [nymag](http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2009/04/have_you_bought_your_1400_burl.html) Spring style took a turn back to basics this year with the use of burlap by [Miu Miu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bag-charm). The look was done by [Burberry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-x-highgrove), with a dyed bag, by [Fendi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kengo-kuma-3), with a basic burlap bag, and by Miu Miu. Miu Miu’s looks included various dress designs, a skirt, and a pair of heels. While the use of burlap would suggest a lower price point, that’s not entirely the case, with the purses costing around $1400, the shoes at $600, and the dresses at $1500. Certainly a look for times of recession, but perhaps not yet at a price point for it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Burlap Fashion Trend:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce affordable and sustainable burlap clothing options for consumers during times of recession. - **DIY Burlap Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create DIY kits or tutorials for consumers to make their own burlap bags and accessories at a lower cost. - **Luxury Burlap Branding:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partner with luxury brands to create high-end burlap fashion items that appeal to eco-conscious and fashion-forward consumers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate burlap fashion into mainstream retail collections to cater to consumers seeking unique and eco-friendly clothing options. - **Craft and DIY:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop burlap-focused craft supplies and DIY materials to tap into the growing demand for sustainable and handmade products. - **Luxury Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with luxury fashion brands to introduce premium burlap designs that combine high fashion with sustainability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Grocery Bag Runway Accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/march-packable-tote-bag.md) - [Luxury Fashion Bag Charms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bag-charm.md) - [High Fashion Mud Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-2023-runway.md) - [Handle-Only Fashion Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-budget-bag.md) - [Potato Sack Couture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haute-potato-collection.md) - [Reimagined Sleek Paper Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muji-labo.md) - [Fashion Brand-Joint Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/530-sl-sneaker.md) - [Crumpled Chip Bag-Resembling Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chip-bag-purse.md) - [Collaborative Stylish Sneaker Mules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-balance-530-mules.md)
