one way or another
Whether your clients adore animal prints such as snakeskin or zebra or prefer textile-based prints like tribal designs or polka dots, there will be an endless supply of designs to choose from when it comes to the newest handbag and tote collections.
KayLee Wheeler, product designer at Vitronic Promotional Group (asi/93990), describes prints as being a key fashion trend. "Prints and patterns have exploded on the runway, all the way down to accessories," she says, noting the trend is easily applicable to promotional situations because the latest prints are so visually appealing. "Very detailed prints are great for accents in the promotional industry," she adds. "With retail dictating that prints are necessary in accessories, I think we will start to see more totes with basic all-over prints."
