The Dragon Handbag was designed and built by Bob Basset, a talented leather-worker who specializes in [creepy masks and accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diluc-messenger-bag). The Dragon Handbag definitely skews more towards cool than creepy. The bag is designed to look as if you are toting around a [baby dragon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/labgrown-leather-ltd). The space inside the bag is easily big enough to fit all of the things you'd need for a day out. I'm calling it right now, dragons will be the biggest thing in fashion for 2011. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, 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's Driving This Trend - **Dragon-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to innovate dragon-themed accessories and clothing to meet the growing demand in the fashion industry. - **Creepy Chic:** Emerging trend of embracing creepy aesthetics in fashion, opening up a new market for artists and designers to create unique and unusual pieces. - **Functional Statement Accessories:** Demand for statement accessories that combine unconventional designs with practical use, creating opportunities for designers to create functional yet eye-catching products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion and Accessories:** Fashion designers and brands can capitalize on the dragon trend by creating dragon-themed accessories and clothing to attract the attention of trend-conscious consumers. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers specializing in unconventional and creepy aesthetics can explore the emerging market for unique and visually striking fashion pieces. - **Leatherworking and Craftsmanship:** Skilled leather-workers can tap into the demand for high-quality, dragon-inspired accessories like the Dragon Handbag, offering custom-made pieces that appeal to fashion enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Opulent Anime Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-4.md) - [Dragon-Infused Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackeyepatch-2.md) - [Traditional Iconography Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ophidian-mini-bag-collection.md) - [Lunar New Year-Inspired Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-new-year-accessories.md) - [Dragon-Inspired Luxury Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragoninspired-luxury-coats.md) - [Avant-Garde Handbag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanifa.md) - [Hedgehog-replicating Hand Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hedgehog-clutch.md) - [Versatile Warped Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-3.md) - [Dragon-Inspired Personal Care Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/year-of-the-dragoninspired1.md)
