Cast your mind back to the 90s. Back to your see through bags and rucksacks filled with everything from the latest Jacqueline Wilson book, a tin pencil case complete with bendy ruler and multi-way coloured biro, a Dairylea dunker and a pink, glittery lip gloss you got free from Bliss magazine. They were the must have bag, the Mulberry ‘Alexa’ of our time… hmm. No? Ok, maybe not. But they were popular nonetheless. Fleetingly they came and just as fleetingly they went, but are now it seems, making a comeback; very much like the long awaited return of Atomic Kitten and 5ive. Naturally.
Back in those days, we didn’t have a care in the world about having it all on show. The more stuff you could pack in and show off, the better. Now, its all: Iphone. Check. Designer purse. Check. Really old lip balm on its last legs. Check. So we have to be that tiny bit more careful when we’re flinging ourselves around the dance floor with the whole of our lives possessions on show. Quite literally, at first glance, it doesn’t look like the best and safest way to cart your stuff around but if handled correctly (and responsibly), this Spring catwalk trend can look super cool. To put minds at ease, the bigger bags such as the totes and shoulder bags have their own mini purse connected inside, making those more valuable items that little bit more safe. Making even more of a statement, the colours appear far from shy as they stand out in neon pinks, yellows, and purples, much like those seen on the catwalk of the SS13 collections from Stella McCartney, Gucci, and Burberry.
The see through craze is making bold moves across a range of other accessories too including heeled shoes, pointed flats, chunky necklaces, and even umbrellas. And by gosh, we need one of those right now… in this lovely season we like to call Spring?
