Bags with applique and prints

Bags with appliqué and prints are the current trend of every season. Big or small, with handles or on a long belt - such accessories are in great demand among modern women of fashion and have a number of features.

Models of bags with prints and appliques are included in every collection of any brand. They make up special lines and come in different colors. Almost always, such decor makes even the simplest bag unique: its appearance becomes spectacular and inimitable. The background, decorated with a bright accent, looks completely different. With the addition of contrasting design elements, it becomes more expressive, which is reflected in the style of the bag.

The pluses of appliqués and prints include exclusivity. They minimize the meeting of two identical bags in the same city.

Appliques and prints are made from textiles and leather. Its texture can be different: smooth, embossed, relief depicting the skin of a snake or crocodile. The combination of different textures allows you to create real masterpieces of design art.

Accessories with pictures are the decoration of the set. However, they require careful selection of clothes, because if you ignore the appropriateness of the accessory, you can violate the created style and harm your image. In most cases, such bags involve a combination with plain clothes and overlap of shades of the accessory and selected things.

Such additions are appropriate in the romantic image of a young nature, creative or glamorous fashionista, relevant in the bow of a city dweller. However, not all of them can be called everyday: most of the models breathe a sense of celebration, which is not suitable in every case.

You should not complement the fashionable set with a bright bag when going to work, and especially where there is a clear dress code. If such a design is quite relevant for walking around the city and gathering in a cafe with friends, then it is completely inappropriate in the office and at an official meeting with business partners. At best, a bag with a reptile skin print would be appropriate here.

As for the evening look or going out, it all depends on the model: discerning women of fashion can choose an outrageous option that will look harmonious in such a bow.

Thanks to the endless flight of imagination, the creativity of the masters knows no boundaries. Ideas are sometimes so unusual that they require courage to go out with such an accessory.

Depending on the chosen theme, the design can be the most unusual and striking. When choosing a theme for a pattern to decorate a bag, fashion designers use different techniques. These can be independent applications or compositions in patchwork technique.

Appliques with the theme are often used in the decor:

• single colors, with a lavish floral print;
• geometric ornament;
• the world of animals and birds;
• Indian traditional ornaments;

• stylized images of people, animals, fish;
• autumn leaves, trees;
• Japanese sketches with a panda;
• fragments of a metropolis;
• glamorous chic;

• tea drinking;
• sketches on the theme of old London;
• African ornament;
• abstraction and geometry;
• berries and fruits.

Often, applications become not only a decoration, but also the basis of a bag. For example, the general background is made in the form of large squares of a contrasting shape, and small details are sewn on top, forming the intended pattern. In textile versions, embroidery is often used in addition to the patchwork technique.

In addition to the patchwork technique, which allows you to create models that are unique in design, there are voluminous and multi-layered applications. In this case, they are made in the form of simple cut-out fragments or textile bulk blanks, which are sewn to the bag in several rows.

If you wish, you can order the product in a single copy. Today, many professional craftswomen fulfill such orders in a short time, creating unique accessories.

Prints allow just as much design freedom. They enliven any, even the purest and deepest tone of the accessory.

Often, when choosing a material pattern, eminent couturiers choose the following motives:

• flower arrangements;
• vegetable theme;
• abstraction;
• geometric patterns;
• urban sketches;
• animalistic colors for the skin of animals and the skin of reptiles;
• stylized images;

• night city;
• glamor;
• shopping and colored silhouettes of girls;
• birds, butterflies;
• fruit and berry theme;
• ethnic ornaments;
• drawings from iconic brand elements (logos);
• imitation of a knitted or embroidered canvas.

Today, prints are a way of self-expression, such bags allow you to always be in the spotlight, emphasizing a fashionable set favorably. They are a kind of alternative to appliqués and are a frequent technique in the design of accessories of world famous fashion houses.

Often, models with prints and appliques have additional decor. Usually, it is chosen thoroughly so as not to oversaturate the composition, although in some cases complete creative freedom is allowed. Beads, fur with a thin nap, small rhinestones, satin ribbons, fringes, pom-poms, beads can be used as additional elements that are appropriately combined with appliqués.

Often, to complete the smallest details of the composition, they use the drawing of blanks with the help of special paints. These are the centers of flowers, eyes, eyelashes, lips, stars, hair and other patterns.

In addition to the elements necessary for the design, metal fittings are often used in the decor of models with a print or applique, which contributes to the extension of the service life and practicality.These are various metal zippers, rings, buckles, plates with magnets, chains, key rings, rivets, eyelets.

The choice of models with prints or appliqués is wide enough. It can be a bag of various shapes: rectangular, round, oval, square, trapezoid, month or dome. Structural or soft, without a frame - it all depends on the designer's idea. Couturier's creative ideas sometimes transform even the usual and strict classics.

The most common types of models of such accessories include:

• shopper (roomy model of rectangular or trapezoidal shape, with a lot of space for shopping);
• messenger (messenger bag, medium-sized product with a thin belt);
• travel bag (a capacious round bag with short handles and an additional strap for carrying over the shoulder);
• clutch (miniature model, sometimes with a long belt);

• minaudière (a kind of clutch, however, unlike a flat bag, it differs in volume and rigid structural shape);
• bag-bag (a mix of a bag and a backpack, which is a model that is tightened at the top with a drawstring);
• beach bag (voluminous option for a lot of useful things that will definitely come in handy on the beach);
• hobo (a bag in the shape of a month, characterized by a soft shape and some negligence in the inside, but allowing you to organize the internal space with the help of an organizer);
• backpack (small sports accessory that frees your hands).

A clutch with flowers is appropriate with a dress if the print pattern matches the color of the shoes.

Beach bags fit perfectly with bows with sundresses, dresses in the same tone, as well as with plain jeans and T-shirts.

A minaudière on a long chain, which has the color of a giraffe's skin, looks harmoniously with black clothes, even if it is of a strict style.

An important rule for composing a set is the absence of mixes of different prints: it looks tasteless and clumsy.

The appliqué model is good in the grunge style, where a combination of the incongruous is allowed.

A roomy backpack will not be bulky if you choose loose clothes for it (a knitted jacket and a skirt in light colors, echoing the pattern of the bag's decor).

A large model on a wide belt will not look like an embroidered carpet if you smooth it with a T-shirt with wide straps and a long flared skirt.

A small flat handbag with a soft shape, just made for boho style. The main thing is a good match between the background of the bag and the shade of the clothes. Plus, if the bag jewelry matches the decoration of the outfit or jewelry.

Accessories will help to bring harmony to any look with a bright bag: made in the same color, they will stylishly and uniquely complete the ensemble. Whatever the style you choose, the main thing is to feel confident. The harmony of taste and state of mind depends on this.
