Portuguese designers Krvkurva created these [edgy La.Ga handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artycapucines-vii) to mimic human emotion. The La.Ga bags are shaped like a gigantic teardrop, and are made of very light but durable materials like Dupont Tyvec.

The La.Ga bag is water resistant, machine washable, recyclable and it definitely offers a [different outline and silhouette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maria-olhovnikova) than ones we're used to seeing.

**Implications** - Bold and brazen fashion is one thing; fashion that connects with human emotion is quite another. Tapping into the human psyche, these [teardrop-shaped bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-clutch) connect the buyer into something intangible, something that fashion has never been known for doing. However, as consumers continue looking for personal connections to the products they buy, an intangible aspect that speaks to the consumer may be just as important to aesthetics and design quality.
