Denim bags

Judging by the boundless popularity in all corners of the globe, denim can be safely ranked among the greatest inventions of mankind. Having been invented specifically for the production of pants, denim (which is the correct name for denim) over time has become a material for jackets. Its best qualities, sooner or later, should have prompted designers to think that it is also excellent as a material for bags, and several decades ago the first models appeared. Today, denim bags are a very common and sought-after accessory.

Denim is probably the most recognizable fabric in the modern world, and literally everyone knows about its properties.

Nevertheless, it is worth mentioning once again the qualities that will make a bag out of it great. Here they are:

• Strength. First of all, a denim bag is very practical - the material is completely “indestructible”, so one accessory will be enough for the owner for several years of wearing, and even the most severe conditions will not care for him;
• Durability. With its strength and practicality, the material does not lose its original appearance for a long time, so things from it, even after years, look like new;
• Environmental friendliness. The fabric invented in the century before last does not contain new-fashioned harmful synthetics, does not cause allergies and does not harm the environment;
• Typical denim aesthetics. After all, jeans are good not only for their practicality and reliability, but also for their appearance - the same can be said about denim bags.

While denim is not versatile, there are a few occasions in which it looks perfect. World fashion trends suggest that a denim bag will be a win-win in such options.

When choosing a light shade, it looks very summer-like, and the high strength of the material allows you to load it with everything you need that may be needed in places of rest.

In the hands of the world's best couturiers, denim turns into exquisite ladies' reticules for every taste, and their decoration with rhinestones and other elements allows you to give the familiar material a completely new, fresh look.

A great idea for office workers who want to freshen up a bit of stale business dress. In this case, preference should be given to models made of black or dark blue denim.

The optimal solution for those who love an active lifestyle. Has a high capacity, sufficient even for a short trip or a long outing. Looks stylish and bright.

Denim also looks interesting as the basis for a small women's handbag for an evening out, designed for the most basic things - a mobile phone, keys, wallet and small improvised cosmetics.

There are also pure denim models of bags without any decorations, but in most cases they look too simple. Denim requires jewelry and goes well with them, and the following ideas are perfect as a decor for a handbag:

• Patchwork. This word means a patchwork patch made of the same denim, but the shades, of course, can be different from the shade of the base. This solution allows you to experiment with the design of the thing, but at the same time leave it purely denim, without puzzling over the combination of materials.

• Rhinestones. For everyone who loves sparkle, rhinestones are a source of eternal inspiration. They go well with denim and will be relevant for all models of bags, the use of which is planned in the dark or under artificial lighting.

• Application. Curly stripes from other fabrics also look good - with their help you can slightly revive the coldness of denim and create one or another memorable pattern.

• Embroidery. The advantages of embroidery are the same as for patchwork with applique, but in this case the decoration is done with separate threads. It is very easy to create lettering or complex visual images with embroidery.

In the world of fashion, the combination of several materials in one thing has long been considered trendy. Denim bags are no exception, the base of which is made of denim, but the inserts may have some other origin.

The most common combination is leather bags and jeans.... Both materials have increased strength and wear resistance, they both have an element of light roughness, that is, their connection is very predictable. In such cases, leather is often used for the manufacture of tags or manufacturer's labels, which in themselves also perform one more function - decoration.

A knitted-denim bag is somewhat less common, and has the opposite goal - a knitted insert, on the contrary, should slightly reduce the brutality of denim, without canceling its best qualities. The original creators of this fabric a century and a half ago hardly guessed that their invention could become a material for fashionable women's accessories, so they did not even try to give it femininity or tenderness - it was the combination with knitted fragments that was designed to correct this omission.

A separate role is played by the metal parts of denim.... They are present in any case, but sometimes the designer deliberately enlarges them, makes them stand out - thanks to this, you can give the product solidity, audacity, but also style.

The size of a denim bag greatly depends on what purpose it is intended for. For example, large models are usually beach bags, or, alternatively, shopping bags. Their main task is to contain a lot, this is what determines their size.

The most common option is a medium denim bag. It can be a backpack, a bag-bag, or a bag-tablet - in a word, a typical everyday accessory designed for work, study, or any other kind of activity, because a woman in any case will not go anywhere without her purse.

Small denim bags are designed for evening outings... With the right look, such an accessory adds tenderness and femininity to the owner, and this is just what you need for a small romantic walk or a trip to a cafe.

Although denim is not available in all known colors, it also has a certain palette available that leaves room for choice in one way or another. General recommendations for choosing a shade are as follows:

• If you need something formal, the choice is unequivocal in favor of the classic dark tones - black or dark blue. This is especially true in offices, but also appropriate for study, work, and some types of official events.

• For everyday use, it is better to choose "jeans classics", that is, either neutral blue, or one of the shades of gray. The advantage of such tones is that they are the most versatile in the sense of combining with any other things, and this is the main criterion of a thing for regular use.

• The bright blue color of a denim bag will most likely be appropriate only on the beach - there it will harmonize well with the color of the water. In all other cases, such a decision will most likely seem to be an inappropriate bright spot, and if the image itself is bright, it will turn out to be faded.

Since its inception, denim bags have firmly established themselves in the fashion world. They have found their place in the sphere of so-called haute couture - if real masters take on their creation, then masterpieces are obtained.

For example, a whole scattering of jewelry was used by the Louis Vuitton brand, presenting its vision of a denim bag - it is decorated with bugles, beads, beads and even ribbons, with the largest elements being sewn by hand.

But the Chanel designers did the opposite, deciding that sophistication lies in maximum simplicity - their bags may not be decorated with anything at all, and it still looks beautiful.

Prada adheres to a similar tactic, and the laconicism of the latter was appreciated even by world-class stars such as Rihanna.

The Valentino fashion house has done everything possible so that not a trace remains of the trademark roughness of denim. A peculiar feature of this brand's denim bags is the very delicate appliqués in the form of butterflies.

Miss Sixty also offers originality and femininity, but in a slightly more "adult" version.

Denim seems like a universal thing only at first glance - in fact, you need to be very careful not to overload the image with it.

A denim bag goes well with a minimalist look like a plain T-shirt, lightweight shorts, and athletic shoes. The combination with light summer dresses also looks interesting - only without too bright and catchy shades, something simpler is needed here.

For those girls who are not afraid to experiment with their image in general, a good tip would be to use a nautical style - the typical sailor aesthetics such as vests (both in the form of a T-shirt and as a striped short dress) or white pants go well with denim.

Here are some tips for what a denim bag will definitely not work for:

• Combined with a classic suit, this is definitely a taboo;
• Do not wear denim with dense fabrics, it overloads the image, and all the more be careful when combining a denim bag with denim clothes - it is permissible, however, find how to balance such an amount of "heavy" material;
• Large geometric shapes or animal prints on clothing are usually not included with a denim bag.

Creating a stylish look is an individual task each time, however, general recommendations can be given, since it will not work out twice the same way.

So, a beautiful image, at the same time very feminine and a little predatory, is obtained by combining a dark blue denim bag with light blue denim shorts in the presence of slender tanned legs. Complement it with a plain T-shirt and sneakers or sneakers - and all the men are yours!

Interestingly, a similar selection of clothes, but already with a denim backpack, will leave a completely different impression - the owner of the accessory will seem like a modern active girl who loves travel and adventure, which also does not interfere with being an object of increased male attention.

Finally, the denim bag pairs well with the casual style, and there are only two rules to follow. Firstly, avoid overly bright colors, not to mention colorful outfits - use only solid colors. Secondly, open legs in all cases are combined with a denim bag better than pants, so wear dresses, skirts or short shorts with such an accessory.
