# Picnic Perfect Handbags These Critter-Heay Kate Spade Clutches Incorporate a Garden Party Theme By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-09-08 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kate-spade-clutches References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/2014/09/74055/kate-spade-spring-2015) & [instagram](http://instagram.com/p/sksaSlAeOz/?modal=true) Debuting at New York Fashion Week, these Kate Spade clutches for Spring 2015 are inspired by a variety of creepy crawly critters. While the whimsical fashion label has introduced wicker basket bags before (2012's line included a [woven armadillo](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kate-spade-armadillo-handbag)), three years later incorporates more of a garden party theme. From snails to ladybugs, these Kate Spade clutches take animalism to a new level. Other handbags in the Kate Spade Spring 2015 line include a flower pot and watering can, not to mention purses in grass green shades and picnic basket shapes. The [kooky accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-bag) are definitely out there. While the New York-based brand encourages to live colorfully, this might be even more unusual than their color-loving clientele might have bargained for. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Whimsical Fashion:** The incorporation of garden party themes and creepy crawly critters in handbag designs presents opportunities for whimsical fashion brands to create unique and playful accessories. - **Nature-inspired Designs:** The use of flower pot, watering can, and picnic basket shapes in handbag designs opens up possibilities for fashion brands to create nature-inspired accessories. - **Colorful Accessories:** The incorporation of snails, ladybugs, and grass green shades in handbag designs provides a chance for fashion brands to create colorful and vibrant accessories. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can capitalize on the trend of incorporating whimsical elements and nature-inspired designs in handbags to appeal to creative and eccentric consumers. - **Accessory Design:** Handbag designers can explore the use of unique shapes and vibrant colors in their designs to cater to consumers looking for playful and eye-catching accessories. - **Event Planning:** Event planners can incorporate the garden party theme showcased in these handbags into their event designs to create a whimsical and nature-inspired ambiance for their clients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hedgehog-replicating Hand Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hedgehog-clutch.md) - [Cat-Inspired Luxury Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-and-kate-spade.md) - [Whimsical Patterned Diverse Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kate-spade-and-target.md) - [Croissant-Shaped Clutch Bag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-clutch.md) - [Chic Celery-Shaped Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moschino-clutch.md) - [Canary-Inspired Fashion Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canary-clutch.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Handbag Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furla-debuts.md) - [Collaborative Retailer Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/target-collection.md) - [Opulent Kitty-Themed Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-3.md)
