While I am still up in the air about the Return of the Jean Jacket, I am loving the trend of denim bags and accessories this season... And my absolute, absolute favorite is this chevron patterned denim tote by Hayden Harnett. Brilliant! Also check out their amazing clothing which uses this textile...it crosses over very nicely. I like the summery feel and the slightly ethnic mood of this print.
There are also some really great clutch designs coming out in denim. One observation I'd like to make is that denim is one of those things that, unless it is used for jeans, can easily become a very, very tacky affair. The whole "Look, I'm a bag, but I have a jean pocket!" thing is just pedestrian at this point...a joke we've all heard about 1,000 times. And don't get me started on dresses that look like farm overalls. (Moo.) But these clutches up here, they're making good use of Trusty Denim...it's a tough fabric, that becomes a perfect, summery substitute for leather.
