# Convertible Handbags The Very Adaptable Antrobus Handbag By thischick | Published 2007-05-04 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-super-stylish-very-adaptable-antrobus-handbag References: [vivre](http://www.vivre.com/control/product/~category_id=1126/~product_id=39222) Ladies, if you're looking for the latest in [convertible handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subu-x-hpotr) try the Antrobus by Alison Antrobus. She's designed a handbag that can be easily transformed into a clutch for those days when you don't need your "carry-everything" handbag. The clutch is removable and comes in [different colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocknot) so you can continuously update your bag as the seasons change. The larger handbag portion has a top-shelf for all your goodies that you don't want to rummage in the bottom of your bag for and the bottom half of the bag hides a storage-box set of compartments for neatly tucking away what you don't need right away (a toothbrush, a change of undies, and some lip gloss and it's a road trip in a bag! Ha Ha!). I'm not much of a handbag fashionista, but I have to give this bag kudos for such an intelligent design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Convertible Handbags:** Opportunity for innovative designs that provide versatility and adaptability to meet changing consumer needs. - **Removable Clutch:** Potential for creating customizable handbags with removable accessories to offer different styles and functionalities. - **Hidden Compartments:** Chance to design handbags with concealed storage options for organized and convenient usage. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Accessories:** Fashion brands can explore creating convertible handbags to cater to style-conscious consumers looking for versatile accessories. - **Travel and Luggage:** Luggage manufacturers can leverage the idea of convertible handbags with hidden compartments to offer convenient and organized travel solutions. - **Personal Care:** Companies specializing in personal care products can consider collaborating with handbag manufacturers to develop convertible handbags with removable compartments for on-the-go essentials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ancient Geometric Pattern Purses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinite-convertible-bag.md) - [Modular Multifunctional Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercurius.md) - [Spacious Modular Multifunctional Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchup.md) - [Spacious Crossbody Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleo-bag.md) - [Croissant-Shaped Clutch Bag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-clutch.md) - [Adaptable Three-in-One Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultix-outdoors-superpack.md) - [Avant-Garde Handbag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanifa.md) - [Chic Modular Travel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/slideshow/the-perfect-travel-bag) - [Adaptable Handmade Messenger Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roderer-award.md)
