# Pine Cone Clutches These Unique Handbags Emulate Pine Cones as Flattened Plates By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-09-08 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cone-clutches References: [maison-objet](http://www.maison-objet.com/en) & [fioravanti.eu](http://www.fioravanti.eu/) Odo Fioravanti designed this line of pine cone clutches titled 'Armure.' Each handbag resembles a cluster of flattened pine cones. The tiny plate-like patterns provide each clutch with a 3D exterior. The uniquely patterned pine cone clutches were crafted to transform organic objects into geometric and natural shapes. The [abstract bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanifa) were designed specifically for [Maison 203](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-marrain). Each bag is available in numerous colors such as black, pink and blue. Each plate looks as though it is floating atop the bag, which resembles a lily pad floating elegantly on the surface of water. This combination of fashion and nature creates a high-end accessory. While the handbags do not replicate the image of a pine cone, the ultimate goal is to produce something new by drawing inspiration from ordinary objects. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Abstract-geometric Handbags:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the fusion of organic and geometric shapes to create unique and visually appealing handbag designs. - **Nature-inspired Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop accessories that draw inspiration from ordinary objects in nature, creating a high-end and sophisticated aesthetic. - **Flattened Plate Patterns:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with flattened plate-like patterns to add a 3D exterior and visual interest to various fashion items. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce innovative designs and materials that blur the line between organic and geometric elements, creating eye-catching fashion pieces. - **Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the incorporation of natural and organic textures and shapes in accessories to create unique and nature-inspired fashion statements. - **Luxury Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine nature-inspired designs and high-quality materials to create luxury handbags and accessories that stand out in the market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chic Celery-Shaped Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moschino-clutch.md) - [Croissant-Shaped Clutch Bag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-clutch.md) - [Nature-Inspired 3D-Printed Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julia-koerner.md) - [Ancient Geometric Pattern Purses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinite-convertible-bag.md) - [Canary-Inspired Fashion Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canary-clutch.md) - [Penguin-Resembling Luxe Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-bag.md) - [Textured Pine Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crayon-pine.md) - [Pine Cone-Inspired Mouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treemouse.md) - [Coastal-Inspired Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seashells-by-the-seashore.md)
