# Armored Side-Slingers Rihanna's Fleet Ilya Medieval Cross-Body Bag By Katherinev123 | Published 2009-09-11 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rihannas-fleet-ilya References: [justjared.buzznet](http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/09/09/rihanna-fleet-ilya-armored-shoulder-handbag/) & [fleetilya](http://fleetilya.com) Armored fashions, as well as Rihanna’s fashion choices, have had extensive coverage on Trend Hunter and now I bring you a combination of the two. Rihanna was spotted with a medieval cross-body purse by Fleet Ilya. Rihanna’s Fleet Ilya leather side-slinging bag features an interesting piece of shoulder armory. Another interesting note: Fleet Ilya is actually a “bondage fashion” accessories label. If you take a look at some of their other offerings (see gallery), you’ll notice that their items are a bit bizarre and often risque--if the leather harnesses are any indication. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Armored Fashions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative and stylish armored accessories that blend fashion and functionality. - **Bondage Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the intersection of fashion and bondage by creating edgy and provocative accessories and clothing. - **Medieval Cross-body Bags:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design modern cross-body bags inspired by medieval armor, combining historical aesthetics with contemporary functionality. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce cutting-edge and unique accessories that challenge traditional fashion norms. - **Luxury Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate unconventional elements into high-end fashion, pushing the boundaries of luxury design. - **Alternative Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Cater to a niche market by creating alternative fashion pieces that incorporate unconventional and edgy elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Crossbody Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-fyra-bag.md) - [Stiletto Shoulder Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stiletto-bag.md) - [Oversized Urbanite Sling Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radiant-mega-sling.md) - [Celebrity-Coveted Travel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprayground-offers.md) - [Versatile Sling Bag Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertical-sling.md) - [Nostalgic Retro-Style Luxe Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocking-horse-bag.md) - [Glamorous Drawstring Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-fleming-drawstring-bag.md) - [Film-Centric Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smurfs-collection.md) - [Food-Inspired Fashionable Purses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stan-onigiri-purse.md)
