Are Animal Print Bag Hot or Not?

If all things 2000s are back, why not this? The subject of animal print purses is a bit difficult to talk about. We’ve talked at length about alligator print bags, and technically, they also fall under the animal print stuff umbrella. But today, what we’re talking about is an all-out animal print purse and no doubt, more akin to Juicy Couture circa.

Now, back to why animal prints are hard to execute and even harder to pull off. Obviously, for something as flashy as this, there must be a lot of conflicting opinions. First, there’s a group of women who swear by the versatility of animal prints. Then there’s the fashion police who judge prints by the harshest standards. And then there’s PETA, which is ready to spill some blood any time you have something resembling an animal on you. So many pros and cons exist in the use of animals into fashion products.

Yet despite their appeal to somewhat exclusive sections of society, animal prints make a comeback every season, in some form, whether as ready-to-wear, bags, accessories, or shoes and at all price points. This might lead people to believe that there is some luxury to them. Why do shoppers flock to buy it season after season, right? Honestly, while they may not be everyone’s cup of tea, the good thing about animal prints is that they leave nothing untouched. Many colors? Check. Modern style? Check. fashionable? Check.

And in doing so, leopard, tiger, zebra, snake and other animal prints have seeped into the public consciousness and earned a seemingly permanent place on the runway. Here, we take a look at some of their most popular iterations and discuss the pros and cons of each, so if you dug one up, now might be a good time to sit up and take notice.

Leopard Prints (and Other Cats).

Accurate documentaries depicting the life of cavemen have led us to believe that wearing a tiger skin is a movement of power in nature. The big cat’s fur coat is naturally adapted not only as a means of camouflage in the jungle but also for instilling fear into the minds of its prey. And planting these prints into clothing and accessories gives the impression that the wearer is in a dominant position. So, whether it’s a tiger-striped haute couture Cavalli dress, a pair of leopard Louboutins or a Coach Ocelot purse. The cat print is perhaps the most aggressively featured animal pattern on the market that the brand has chosen. To create a well-known runway show without actually coming up with anything particularly unique.

Advantages:

The cat print comes in a wide variety of colors, from very earthy leopard browns and blacks to white tigers, as well as tonal shades and bright metallics. With that said, the great thing about them is that coordinating an outfit, especially for a mostly neutral wardrobe, is made easier with just a pattern.

Second, apart from the color and real estate they cover on the handbag itself, the print is an instant statement maker. So, they’re sure to turn heads whether they’re tucked in as trim on a plain purse or as a slouchy leopard print all over the body. And with the right outfit paired (remember, if your bag is printed, your other clothes should be in a solid color), they can look absolutely gorgeous!

Lastly, they are also very trendy. Dior recently created the Mizza collection, and his Saddle seems to have come out of the 2000s – undoubtedly the hottest thing to date. But even the Book Tote from the collection was a clever nod to the era’s large tote bags while still maintaining a relatively simple and functional silhouette that simultaneously served as a broad canvas for leopard print.
