Floral-designed handbags grabbed much attention at the catwalk this year. This Fall/Winter 2020, handbags adorned by floral designs offer an irresistible allure with fun, flirty floral flourishes that accentuate the bold and beautiful spirit of the modern-day young woman. From Bottega Veneta’s signature intrecciato weaves to a haute couture rose embellishment, here are the most popular flower-inspired designs for handbags in FW20:
3D floral detail
Floral prints have long been a beloved design in fashion. Throughout history, floral designs have evolved from exotic Chinese flower prints on silk to 18th-century European flowers printed on cotton, to today’s various wild interpretations and incorporations of flora and fauna in haute-couture designs such as the Atelier Bag Rose Edition with shoulder strap by Italian luxury brand Valentino Garvani. A fun and flirty accessory to express passion and beauty for the sophisticated fashion-forward female.
Weaved leather
A show of craftsmanship and luxury is the intrecciato weave, a design synonymous with the high-fashion Italian brand, Bottega Veneta. The New Jodie Medium tote bag is their latest creation to garner a lot of hype at the FW20 runway. Without the need for branded labels, the textured design is a signature look in itself and complements the sleek and effortless style of a confident woman.
Flower petals embellishments
Texture and tactile is a common sight in FW20’s fashion runways. Such is the case in Valentino Garavani’s Atelier Rose Edition 03 large tote that features a classic tote silhouette embellished with flower petals and a contrasting leather strap. Made with viscose material for a lightweight and luxurious look, it is a fun and contemporary take on the flower-inspired design that serves as a functional bag to fit all the essentials of a lady while still fashioning a chic and elegant look.
Tassel details
Tassels are one of 2020’s trendiest accessory details, alongside pom poms and fringes. A fun and floral detail at the end of the drawstrings of a handbag like Loewe’s Flamenco clutch with bell tassel. A detail that is reminiscent of the allium flower or chive flower adds a playful touch to the sleek shoulder bag.
