# Toy Block Bags The LEGO Handbag is Chic and Unique By Souzan Michael | Published 2011-08-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-handbag References: [7gadgets](http://www.7gadgets.com/2011/08/26/lego-handbag/40505) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/78519315/lego-handbag-handmade-clutch-bag-retro) Forget dishing out a ton of cash for the latest "It bag" for fall, the [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trolley-and-backpack-set) Handbag is affordable and adorable. Created by [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock) user Leglow, the bag costs about $34 USD, making it not only super cost-efficient, but truly one-of-a-kind. The LEGO Handbag is also a great conversation starter. Instead of picking up a new purse that every other fashionista will surely be seen with this season or splurging on a designer piece, you can grab the LEGO Handbag as a great alternative for those [cookie-cutter leather bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telfar-3). With its fun, retro feel, this purse uses old LEGO pieces that are individually glued onto a bag, giving it a vintage feel. The LEGO Handbag is definitely a fall must-have. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/customization) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro Accessories:** Opportunity for companies to create vintage inspired accessories that appeal to consumers looking for unique, affordable alternatives to traditional designer pieces. - **Upcycling:** Opportunity for brands to upcycle old, unused materials to create new, unique products for sustainability-conscious consumers. - **Customized Handbags:** Opportunity for companies to offer customized handbags using unique materials and designs for consumers who crave personalized fashion items. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Accessories:** Fashion accessory companies can create and market unique, affordable, and sustainable items for consumers looking for customization and upcycled designs. - **Handbag Manufacturing:** Handbag manufacturers can explore new product lines featuring innovative materials and designs that cater to consumers looking for personalized, non-traditional bags. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Sustainable fashion companies can create upcycled products that appeal to consumers looking for unique, eco-friendly accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Toy Brick-Inspired Luggage Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trolley-and-backpack-set.md) - [Building Block-Inspired Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-luggage.md) - [Brick Toy-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-gogo.md) - [Bubble Wrap-Inspired Luxury Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabat-bag.md) - [Whimsical Remote-Controlled Car Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remotecontrolled-cars.md) - [Bag-Accented Bag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plastic-bag.md) - [Fashion-Forward Grocery Totes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waitrose-x-lulu-guinness-tote.md) - [Building Block Window Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-lego-christmas-display.md) - [Miniature Building Block Plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-icons-tiny-plants.md)
