Everyone is thinking of Japan, its people, and how the Japanese are coping with the disastrous 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear plant problems that the country and its people have had to live through. Prior to the earthquake, however, designers had already turned eastward for inspiration. Many of 2011's handbags are both reminiscent of Eastern cultures and strongly influenced by those cultures.
One example of this Eastern influence is the use of woven panels in some handbags in 2011, including the satchel bag created by Reece Hudson. The woven panels are suggestive of the East's different methods of crafting items. You'll see some differences when you look at Chinese or Japanese woven items, and the woven panels that are part of some 2011 handbags bring to mind a sense of the East fusing with the West. The stunning handbags that result from this fusion shout both style and quality.
Often the East is seen as a place where there is a rather organic flow, in the sense of the life force flowing through everything and this is reflected in bags, where there is a sense of the bags being organically round and not stopping or starting, just flowing. Somehow this sense of life 'flowing' through everything seems more poignant with the recent events in Japan and makes the bags even more special and almost inspirational. The Japanese have shown such courage in the face of adversity; wearing Eastern influenced handbags not only admires that courage, it respects it as well.
Today, some of the materials being used to create modern handbags have roots in ancient Asian cultures. For example, different textures are being introduced into handbags through the use of different types of leather, leather treated in different ways, and flowers. Very much a trend in 2011, you are likely to continue seeing handbags made this way throughout the rest of the year and into the next. Fortunately for women who appreciate a taste of the timeless Eastern beauty and elegance that has survived virtually unchanged for thousands of years, Asian influences in handbag design are here to stay.
Handbag clasps - particularly some of the very delicate types and even the tassels that some of 2011's leading designers are using - are now reflecting Eastern influences in a way the fashion world has not seen for quite some time. This fusion of East and West may gather even more momentum as the world becomes even more of a global village. In the interim, however, the handbags that are currently being created and showcased as the fusion of two cultures are a true delight. "Stunning" is the only way they can be described. Why not look into them yourself? You'll be able to find some simply amazing Eastern-influenced and Eastern-inspired handbags during the 2011 season. Once you begin checking them out, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how widespread the Eastern influence has become, and you'll be amazed at how fabulous the results of this 2011 handbag trend truly are.
