# Feisty Fire Power Purses The Gun Bag is a No Nonsense Sort of Handbag for Every Woman By Nikki Taylor | Published 2013-01-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gun-bag References: [gizmodiva](http://www.gizmodiva.com/fashion/fight-off-the-fashion-police-with-your-gun-bag.php) & [neatoshop](http://www.neatoshop.com/product/Gun-Bag) People will be tempted to stick their hands up after one glace at your Gun Bag. The revolver accessory by Brenda Smith is a tough satchel to hold all of your belongings. This weapon-inspired handbag may not be able to protect you from a purse thief, but it sure packs a lot of attitude. Bypassing the fact that there is an embroidered handgun plastered on the front of the [shoulder strap bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-budget-bag), the inside of the purse is lined with wicked [zebra stripes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ophidian-mini-bag-collection). There is only one thing fierce enough to successfully partner with a revolver and that is animal print. The Gun Bag comes with a [brass bullet amulet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocknot) attached onto the zipper so everyone will know you mean business. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Weapon-inspired Accessories:** Opportunity for retailers to create edgy and bold merchandise inspired by firearms. - **Bold Print Linings:** Potential for fashion designers to incorporate eye-catching animal prints as a lining for statement handbags. - **Exposed Hardware Accents:** Opportunity for accessory designers to utilize brass bullet amulets or other exposed hardware pieces as bold fashion accents. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Accessories:** The Gun Bag demonstrates how accessories can be used to make a statement and showcase personality in a bold way. - **Retail:** Retailers could create a niche market for edgy and bold fashion accessories like the Gun Bag, targeting consumers with a strong sense of individuality and distinction. - **Gun Ownership:** The popularity of the Gun Bag among gun enthusiasts showcases a potential market for accessories inspired by firearms for both aesthetic and practical purposes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Avant-Garde Handbag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanifa.md) - [Reimagined Archival Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coachs-western-tabby.md) - [Luxury Crossbody Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-fyra-bag.md) - [Racism-Combatting Handbag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antiracist-handbag.md) - [Celebrity-Coveted Travel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprayground-offers.md) - [Opulent Designer Laptop Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-laptop-bag.md) - [Versatile Warped Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-3.md) - [Handle-Only Fashion Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-budget-bag.md) - [Party-Ready Collectible Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buzzbagz.md)
