# Boldly Striped Bags The Head Porter SS14 Brighton Collection Has a Nautical Appeal By Meghan Young | Published 2014-03-19 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/head-porter-ss14-brighton References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2014/3/head-porter-2014-spring-summer-brighton-collection) & [store.headporter.co.jp](http://store.headporter.co.jp/) It can be argued that there is nothing more summery than a good [bright and bold stripe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-watersports-collegiate-prep), a few of which can be found in the Head Porter SS14 Brighton collection. Ok, more than a few. Bringing up images of WASPs in The Hamptons, cruising along the waters on their million dollar yachts, the line of [bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cecilie-bahnsen-x-porter) would bring a touch of playful poshness to any outfit. Yet for those who don't want to adopt such an appearance, the Head Porter SS14 Brighton collection is versatile enough to have a bit of street cred as well. It helps that the design was in fact inspired by deck chairs of the British seaside town for which it was named and not anything to do with The Hamptons. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Print](https://www.trendhunter.com/print) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bold Stripes:** Opportunity to incorporate bold stripe patterns in various industries, such as fashion, home decor, and graphic design. - **Nautical Appeal:** Opportunity to create products and experiences inspired by the elements of the sea, including maritime-themed fashion, home decor, and travel accessories. - **Versatile Design:** Opportunity to develop products that can cater to both high-end and streetwear markets, offering a blend of sophistication and urban style. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Opportunity to incorporate bold stripe patterns into clothing, accessories, and footwear. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity to introduce nautical-inspired decor, such as striped furniture, coastal artwork, and marine-themed accessories. - **Graphic Design:** Opportunity to incorporate bold stripes in branding, packaging, and advertising materials to create eye-catching visuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Travel-Ready Summer Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tangerine-palisade.md) - [Street-Informed Grocery Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/busanexclusive-grocery-bag.md) - [Eclectic Preppy Summer Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-plus-2.md) - [Collaborative Floral-Detailed Nylon Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cecilie-bahnsen-3.md) - [Compact Bamboo Tote Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filament-collection.md) - [Climate Conscious Summer Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baggu.md) - [Functional Collaborative Technical Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-and-porter.md) - [Urban Modern Golf Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/head-golf-ss26.md) - [Couture Bag Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cecilie-bahnsen-x-porter.md)
