After designing her own collection this Fall, Lauren designed a coin purse ($45), a clutch ($145) and a bag ($350). "I love the [bag (tote)](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empire-carryall) because it holds so much and the leather is super soft. It is available in three colors. There's also a clutch and a coin purse." All bags available in these colors: Dark Olive Green, Black, Espresso Brown. All items are for pre-order and will ship in December 2007. The most surprising part is that they actually look wearable, and the [leather seems so soft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carry-bag)! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Celebs](https://www.trendhunter.com/celebs) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Personalized Fashion Accessories:** With celebrities now designing their own handbag collections, the personalized and customized fashion accessories trend is gaining momentum. - **Direct-to-consumer Model:** By designing and launching her own collection, Lauren Conrad is demonstrating the success of a direct-to-consumer model that cuts out the middleman and allows for greater control over the supply chain. - **Leather Goods:** The popularity of soft leather materials for fashion accessories continues with Lauren Conrad's new line, signaling continued growth for the leather goods industry. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion and Apparel:** With celebrities becoming fashion designers, the fashion and apparel industry should focus on creating accessible, affordable, and personalized fashion accessories. - **E-commerce:** By launching her own collection through direct-to-consumer sales, Lauren Conrad shows the potential for growth in the e-commerce industry, especially for smaller, specialized brands. - **Leather Goods Manufacturing:** As soft leather materials remain in fashion, the leather goods manufacturing industry should focus on sustainable and ethical sourcing of materials, and improving product durability and longevity. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Travel-Inspired Handbag Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patricia-nash-designs-bags.md) - [Curved Minimalist Purses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halfmoon-purse.md) - [Coastal-Inspired Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seashells-by-the-seashore.md) - [Glamorous Party-Ready Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/statement-bags.md) - [Avant-Garde Handbag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanifa.md) - [Minimalist Italian Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ghiera-bag.md) - [Summer-Ready Waxed Leather Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waxed-leather-collection.md) - [Genuine Leather Fashion Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carry-bag.md) - [Premium Authentic Leather Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telfar-3.md)
