The new Pibiones Spring Summer 2008 colour moodboard is the perfect way to start talking about the AW 08-09 fashion handbag new trends.
The handbag prediction for Autumn Winter fashion 2008 are clear, the next seasons are going to be focused on environmental friendly materials and natural materials. Fluffy wools are going to be the next new big thing on the handbags. The shapes are going to be simple and sophisticated with a little gothic influence.
This new idea for the next Winter season is to try out materials in place of leather. Searching for and experimenting with new materials has become the key issue in the accessories industry as well as many others, partly driven by the increasing trend towards eco-friendly and ethical products.
In the next years more designer in search of inspiration are going to take in account ecological problems, safeguarding the dignity of workers and fighting the exploitation of the very young. This new trend, and I hope is not only a fashion phase, will also rise production costs and creates competitive disadvantages. Waiting for this predictions to become reality in the next few seasons, we have to pay more attention to that segment of consumers who are aware of this problems and are willing to spend a little extra for their sustainable products.
