# Designer Barf Bags Puke in style By Chris Skleryk | Published 2007-02-04 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-barf-bags-puke-in-style References: [notcot](http://www.notcot.com/archives/2007/02/designer_airsic.html) & [redstr](http://www.redstr.com/) Let's face it, when your talking vomit, style doesn't exactly seem to fit in most cases, until now. Redstr/collective have come out with [limited design edition barf bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buzzbagz) for your [savvy frequent flyer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airs-luggage) who would be too embarrassed to barf in the generic airliner barf bags. **Implications** - When people get on a plane, they usually expect to see the [same old, drab surrounding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lufthansa-allegris-first-class-loungewear) of basic colored seats and dull walls. Planes are not typically an enjoyable place to be, so businesses that can make the ride a bit more cheerful could have a huge effect on consumer interest. The featured barf bags are a good example of changing up something little that can end up going a long way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Design-first Accessories:** Businesses that can add a touch of design to everyday items such as barf bags can create a unique impression on customers and provide an opportunity for increased sales. - **Air Travel Comfort Kits:** Designers can make traveling more enjoyable by creating unique, aesthetically pleasing comfort kits with essentials like blankets, eye masks, and travel pillows. - **Sustainable Travel Products:** Businesses can create eco-friendly travel products such as biodegradable barf bags that appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Airline Industry:** Airlines can incorporate unique design elements in their inflight accessories to create a more memorable experience for passengers. - **Design Industry:** Designers can explore creating innovative new products in everyday items that incorporate design and aesthetics, such as the designer barf bags. - **Sustainability Industry:** Sustainability-focused businesses can explore creating eco-friendly travel products such as biodegradable barf bags that appeal to environmentally conscious travelers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Antacid Brand Designer Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tums-bag.md) - [Whimsical Garbage Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-garbage-bags.md) - [Airline Safety Equipment Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-life-vests.md) - [Intentionally Dented Luggage Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crash-baggage-edition.md) - [Celebrity-Coveted Travel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprayground-offers.md) - [Opulent Airline Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hawaiian-airlines-1.md) - [Cheeky Bathroom Plungers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-plunger.md) - [Collectible Amenity Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collectible-amenity-kits.md) - [Airline Merchandise Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virgin-atlantic-1.md)
