# Predatory Graphic Knapsacks This Valentino Owl Backpack Features a Fierce Realistic Raptor By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-09-18 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/owl-backpack References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2015/09/17/best-products-valentino-supreme-stampd/) & [lanecrawford](http://www.lanecrawford.com/product/valentino/owl-appliqu-wool-felt-backpack/_/UIH866/product.lc?isNavFromNewInPage=true&navMode=newInMW&countryCode=US&utm_source=Affiliates&utm_medium=Affiliates&utm_campaign=Linkshare_US&_country=US) For anyone who was wishing for an extra defensive tactic in the struggle to protect their bagged lunch, this [Valentino](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rockstud-collection) owl backpack is the answer. The wool felt applique owl backpack is adorned by a large, realistic representation of a scowling bird of prey. The color scheme of the owl backpack -- neutral grays, white, black and brown -- is tasteful and understated, and its design is simple and elegant. The intense graphic, however, is sure to turn some heads. It may just be enough to intimidate potential textbook and pencil thieves. The overwhelming invasion of street and skater style into mainstream fashion has made backpacks, ball caps and sneakers into luxury items. Although this Valentino owl backpack might seem like it could fit right into a locker or be handily slung onto a classroom floor, it actually retails at $3105. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Streetwear:** Opportunity to combine high-end fashion with streetwear-inspired designs to create luxury items that appeal to a broader consumer base. - **Realistic Graphic Accessories:** Potential to create accessories featuring realistic and detailed graphics that stand out and make a bold statement. - **Protective Fashion:** Innovative opportunity to design fashion items that serve a protective function while still maintaining a stylish aesthetic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can incorporate realistic graphic designs into their accessories to attract trend-savvy consumers. - **Streetwear:** Streetwear brands can explore high-end collaborations and innovative designs to elevate their products into the luxury market. - **Backpack Manufacturing:** Opportunity for backpack manufacturers to create unique designs that incorporate realistic graphics for added visual appeal. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Oversized Earbud Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpack.md) - [Iconic Villain Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scarface-backpack.md) - [Collaboration Camouflage Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-brown-buffalo-x-huckberry-concealpack.md) - [Penguin-Resembling Luxe Clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-bag.md) - [Snack-Inspired Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheetos-x-sprayground.md) - [Sophisticatedly Playful Backpack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fjallraven-kanken-koncept.md) - [Cargo Pocket-Adorned Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/general-research-parasite-bag.md) - [Virtual Pet-Themed Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamagotchi-4.md) - [Industrial Sci-Fi Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprayground-x-dune.md)
