Vienna Insight: Bag trends presented by Ina Kent

Bags are in general functional objects. In our days, bag design is focused strongly on digital devices. Oversized or large versions of bags are practical for the transport of voluminous items, while mini bags are used as secure carriers of smartphones or micro bags as wearable wallets for the protection of bank & identity cards, keys, money. The deconstructed bag trend with more than one bag at once with at least one smartphone mini bag is strongly device orientated. It's an authentic bag trend from the digital era.

Currently, Vienna-based bag label Ina Kent (founded 2007, two stores in Vienna) presents trendy bags in various colors and materials at the online shop at inakent.com. The mini and micro bags are produced from the rest of the production of the label's larger handbags, backpacks, etc. for reducing waste to a minimum.
