Comedic Designer Clutches

Inés Figaredo Handbags 2012 are Perfect for the Quirky Fashionista

— May 17, 2012 — Fashion
The Inés Figaredo Handbags 2012 are the right mix of comedy and chic. Spanish handbag designer Inés Figardo's philosophy is "to offer a single art-bags Collection per year which will be completed with fresh and haunting surprises from time to time launched accordingly," according to the designer's site. The limited release ends up working in Figardo's favor, giving her the ability to gather inspiration and have thoughtful designs. Additionally, she is constantly surprising her fans with inspiring designs.

Each purse is a statement piece: an exploration into turning a handbag into an art form. Figardo's designs are reminiscent of the late designer Alexander McQueen, who is synonymous for using skulls and creating crafty clutches. The collection varies from more over-the-top pieces such as the gold hand bag, to more traditional with the climber clutch, which has more subtle detailing.
Trend Themes
1. Artistic Handbags - This trend offers an opportunity for disrupting the traditional accessories market with visually appealing statement pieces.
2. Limited Release Collections - This trend offers an opportunity to create a sense of exclusivity and urgency among customers by launching collections periodically.
3. Humorous Fashion - This trend offers an opportunity to add an element of humor to fashion accessories which can be a refreshing break from traditional designs.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion and Accessories - This industry can capitalize on the trends of artistic handbags, limited release collections and humorous fashion by expanding their product line and target market.
2. Luxury Goods - This industry can capitalize on the trends of artistic handbags and limited release collections by tapping into the exclusivity aspect and offering premium products to niche customers.
3. E-commerce - This industry can capitalize on the trends of limited release collections by creating an engaging online platform where customers can browse and preorder collections before they are officially launched.
