Made from heavy straps of waterproof polyester, the 'Pack!' bag line was created by Netherlands-based designer Alei Verspoor. A recent graduate of the [Royal College of Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-tennis-footwear) in London, Verspoor designed this collection to be a series of inter-woven and folded parts that can not only be easily replaced, but also mixed and matched depending on each users tastes at any given time. By doing so, each pre-assembled bag can be customized and evolved over time. The seat belt style woven bags are available as either [backpacks, hand totes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultix-outdoors-superpack) or as laptop sleeves. The accessories allow for additional options like vibrantly colored replacement straps, clips and buckles that can be added to make each piece more unique. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Customizable Bag Designs:** By offering inter-woven and foldable parts that can be easily replaced and mixed, there is an opportunity to create a range of personalized bag designs. - **Modular Bag Accessories:** The availability of vibrantly colored replacement straps, clips, and buckles provides an opportunity for customers to customize their bags with unique accessories. - **DIY Fashion Trends:** The DIY woven strap bags tap into the growing trend of DIY fashion, allowing individuals to express their creativity and style through personalized bag designs. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Accessories:** The customizable bag designs and modular accessories can disrupt the fashion accessories industry by offering customers more personalized and unique options. - **Textile and Fabric:** The DIY woven strap bags require customizable and durable materials, presenting opportunities for textile and fabric manufacturers to cater to this niche market. - **E-commerce:** The customizable nature of the bag designs opens up opportunities in the e-commerce industry for personalized fashion products where customers can design and order their own customized bags online. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Customizable Tennis Player Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cancha-court-modular-bags.md) - [Durable Recyclable Textile Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/f707-stratos.md) - [Kid-Friendly Customizable Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-n-swop.md) - [Sleek Sustainable Sling Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-sling-bag.md) - [Everyday Sustainable Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-bags-for-essentials.md) - [Woven Statement Totes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holst-lee1.md) - [Sleek Multifuntional Lifestyle Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bask-bag.md) - [Structural Transparent Bag Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maria-olhovnikova.md) - [Co-Branded Upcycled Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rerebuilt-to-resist.md)
