Thigh-Strapped Steampunk Bags

This JungleTribe Bag Really Makes a Statement

— January 24, 2013 — Fashion
If you’d like to rock the steam punk look, or just want to make an impression, consider this edgy strap-on bag by Jungle Tribe Couture.  It’s called the Blaster, which is extremely appropriate since it looks strikingly like a gun holster. The Blaster bag is made of leather, and comes in brown or black. It has a sort of western-meets-post-apocalypse vibe to it.

The Blaster offers no-nonsense ladies a cool way to secure their personal belongings and prevent purse snatchers from making off with the goods. That being said, this bag is perfect for women who travel a lot. It sure beats the hell out of a fanny pack. There are three different ways to wear this bag, so you can switch up your look without switching out your bag.
Trend Themes
1. Steampunk Fashion - Jungle Tribe Couture's Blaster bag represents an opportunity for fashion brands to explore the market for steampunk-inspired accessories and clothing.
2. Anti-theft Accessories - The Blaster bag's unique design presented an opportunity for security-minded entrepreneurs to disrupt the accessories market with anti-theft products that merge function and style.
3. Modular Bags - The Blaster bag's versatility highlights the potential for bags that can adapt to different modes of wear and occasion, suggesting a disruptive opportunity to innovate in the modular bag category.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Accessories - The Blaster bag is an example of how fashion accessory brands can create unique statement pieces to cater to consumers looking for edgy, unconventional designs.
2. Travel Accessories - The Blaster bag, with its anti-theft features and practical design, represents an opportunity for travel accessory brands to create products that prioritize chic aesthetics and functionality.
3. Safety and Security Products - Jungle Tribe Couture's Blaster bag presents an opportunity for security product manufacturers to explore the anti-theft market with products that highlight fashionable, functional, and unique designs.
