Noticeably popping up recently, following the warm summer months and transitioning into autumn, a certain female-based fashion trend has overtaken the Karakura population:
Handbags!
Where exactly did this trend start? Is it for all types of people? And most importantly..
Will we continue to see these cute bags into the autumn and winter months?
To understand exactly why this trend is popular, an interview took place with none other than one of fashion the experts themselves, a member of the Karakura Bobcat cheer team. Provided below, is the footage with a transcript.

“Is this about Fortnite?”
[Masato Sakamoto]
“No..”
“Okay! First, when did you start wearing bags like that over your shoulder?”
“No..”
“Okay! First, when did you start wearing bags like that over your shoulder?”
[Elizabeth Tuffin]
“Oh. Well..”
“I've really only begun wearing these bags for a few months. I think I got my first one a few months ago, towards the end of summer. But I also have just used purses for a very long time; I used to collect them.”
[Masato Sakamoto]
“Really? What inspired you to get your first bag? Was it your love for collecting them, or a friend's influence-?”
[Elizabeth Tuffin]
“I believe it was a mix of both. I really do like bags as well as I've always thought the style of them was very cute. I've seen my captain, Valentina Cruz, wear them for a bit and I guess I just got one one day? She contributed to it by showing me how ABSOLUTELY cayute it is.”
[Masato Sakamoto]
“Perfect!”
He cleared his throat.
“Have you recommended it to others? I see them all around town.”
“Perfect!”
He cleared his throat.
“Have you recommended it to others? I see them all around town.”
[Elizabeth Tuffin]
She looked into her purse for a moment, eyeing down the obvious pair of kitten ears poking out of the top. She looked back to Masato as she placed a hand over the bag's top, covering the ears.
“Uh- Not really, I haven't recommended it to ANYBODY! It's more of a 'if you notice it, you can wear it' type of thing.."
"You know how guys will wear cute little clips on their belt loop, it's like that.”
[Masato Sakamoto]
“I see..”
He pulled out his clipboard, taking notes.
“Yes, that makes sense! What's with your bag- Anyways, where do you think this trend started? And why?”
“I see..”
He pulled out his clipboard, taking notes.
“Yes, that makes sense! What's with your bag- Anyways, where do you think this trend started? And why?”
[Elizabeth Tuffin]
She suddenly winced a bit, pretending as if nothing had happened. Did her bag just bite her-?
“The bag- Oh nothing!”
“Uhmm I think it probably came from somewhere online, some model lady maybe or maybe Valenina started it, who knows!”
[Masato Sakamoto]
“Valentina.. You keep mentioning Miss Cruz. Do you think she'd be available to talk sometime-”
He wrote more notes, checking the camera to ensure it was still focused.
“How many of those bags exactly do you own? And are they expensive to collect?”
“Valentina.. You keep mentioning Miss Cruz. Do you think she'd be available to talk sometime-”
He wrote more notes, checking the camera to ensure it was still focused.
“How many of those bags exactly do you own? And are they expensive to collect?”
[Elizabeth Tuffin]
She nodded.
“Yeah, Tina is probs available when she's not captaining.”
She itched her nose bridge, looking at the camera in the lense and admiring her reflection.
“I own two of these little handbags, maybe three? And I own a ton more larger purses. They usually range from 30k to 80k depending on the bag size.”
[Masato Sakamoto]
“Well, I thank you for your time Miss Tuffin! Please, if you know of anyone else with these bags, send them my way."
"My final question, however.. Of course you wear it as often as I've noticed, but do you like this trend?”
“And how long do you think it will stay in style? Do you think it will survive the autumn and winter months? Or do you think it was a summer-only style trend?”
“Well, I thank you for your time Miss Tuffin! Please, if you know of anyone else with these bags, send them my way."
"My final question, however.. Of course you wear it as often as I've noticed, but do you like this trend?”
“And how long do you think it will stay in style? Do you think it will survive the autumn and winter months? Or do you think it was a summer-only style trend?”
[Elizabeth Tuffin]
“I think the trend will stay for a while and of course I love love lovveee this trend!"
"Personally, I think it will go into hibernation during the winter months. It just doesn't look as good as it does with warmer styled clothes. But like all things in hibernation it should come back after the winter. “
And with that Elizabeth moved her hand from the top of her bag, and an all black kitten sprung out of the bag, landing itself directly on Masato's lap. Even the kitten had its own small pink barbie purse!? Elizabeth would watch this, quickly taking a small tote bag from her purse, and wrapping it on Masato's arm. She would take his picture..

With that, it becomes a little more clear exactly why this trend has taken the city by storm. What do you think.. Will this trend continue to flourish in popularity? Or with the colder months coming soon, will we see the rise of a new fad?
This trend can be styled in various ways, regardless. Why don't you hop on the trend before it's gone? Below are a few examples of these bags being styled, modeled by various girls across Karakura!
