FW15: Inspiring Fashion Month Fabrics For Bags

Louis VuittonNicolas Ghesquière’s classic Louis Vuitton monogram was updated for Fall. The re-sized leather 'grab-it-as-you-hit-the-road' bag came deconstructed with modern gold hardware and snap detail. Still in the French maison's classic chocolate and toffee two-tone, the natural cowhide looked utilitarian with black leather trimming.2. ChanelChanel's coin-purse, handbag hybrid normalized the surrounding dinner plate bags with miniature forks and spoons attached at the Brasserie Gabrielle fashion show. But it was the downplayed coin contraption that was the most coveted - crafted by Lagerfeld using the iconic Chanel diamond quilted leather, textural tweed base and braid chain handle - showcasing the finest construction techniques and fabrics of Coco Chanel. 3. LoeweLoewe's Puzzle bag returned again this season after its debut last year. Notorious for its surprising volume (created through precise cutting, which determines how it folds) Jonathan Anderson tweaked his game-like creation. Offering it in a sheen, navy crocodile skin with embossed Anagram this time, some key characteristics remained such as hand-painted edges, textile lining and two pockets inside.4. FendiKarl Lagerfeld looked to Seventies New York with this chevron-print in the house's Selleria shape. The Roman leather handbag with pony hair comes constructed with hand-sewn stitches and two compartments divided by a stiff partition. Twist-lock palladium metalware modernizes this 2015 nod to nostalgia. 5. BurberryAt London fashion Week, Burberry's eye-grabbing accessories were dominant. Clean-fold document holders were made fun with leopard print. And then there were the bucket bags with tiered suede fringing. Featuring a flat base, pinch-pleated sides and a detachable shoulder strap, the carry-things were made from English fringed suede. The bag complemented nicely the crafty feel of the collection with patchwork and more suede hitting frocks and jackets.6. Holly FultonInfinitely Art Deco, Holly Fulton stayed geometric with her bags. The collection was very 'socialite', offering sequins, Mongolian fur, candy pink latex and chiffon - and the accessories had to match. One of the six BFC/Vogue Designer nominees for 2015, Fulton went all-out with graphic circular handbags in pastel shades like purple. Made from cowhide leather, they felt Grecian and refined.7. AltuzarraJoseph Altuzarra launched his first-ever handbag range on the runway of his Fall 2015 collection. Mixing Americana with Italian luxury, styles included saddle-shaped boho and shoulder bags with fringe tassels hanging off the sides, along with rivets, leather braiding. And the crocodile skin or plain leather styles worked a tri-color palette - burnt orange, blood red and navy - giving back the neutral Seventies vibe to accessorizing, while maintaining the rustic.
