Let's Take a Look at the Unconventional Handbag Trend, Shall We? - Glamour (blog)

On Thursday, Lanvin^[1] designer Alber Elbaz^[2] paired his gold lamé runway looks with a leather tote that quite possibly could have doubled for a Hefty CinchSak.

Elbaz' bags are pretty out there but he's not the only designer who is challenging us to try something new.

Remember, a few seasons ago, when Jil Sander^[3] debuted a collection of $630 lunch bags^[4] ?

Oh, and what about the time when Karl Lagerfeld^[5] introduced the hula-hoop^[6] bag?

Even if the bags aren't your bag, I do think there's something to be said for breaking out of a style rut and trying something different. What's the biggest fashion risk you've taken lately?
