Last night while I was reading the supplement of the April issue of Vogue Spain, I got to think about "it-bags". How fast and quietly they have disappeared! Probably they are waiting their time to come back or maybe they are gone forever. Who knows. That's what I like most about fashion. You can't predict what's going to happen next (at least if you are not Miuccia). But you can see what's going on at the moment. It is likely that due to the recession (I hate that word, trust me) magazines are focusing on basic garments and shoes. Now it's all about the shoes! I've never been a "it-bag-girl", I am more in the shoes side, and well, this is fantastic!
La otra noche, mientras leía el especial Complementos del número de abril de Vogue España comencé a pensar en los famosísimos "it-bags". ¡Qué rápido y qué silenciosamente han desaparecido! Probablemente están esperando su momento para volver o quizás se han ido para siempre. Quién sabe. Eso es lo que más me gusta de la moda, que no puedes predecir que pasará (a menos que te llames Miuccia). Pero sí que puedes ver qué está pasando ahora. Puede que por la recesión (creedme, yo también odio esa palabra) las revistas se estén centrando en prendas básicas, no estén arriesgando nada, y lo único imaginativo que presenten esté ahí abajo, en los pies. Yo nunca he sido una chica de "it-bags", estoy más del lado de los zapatos, y bueno, obviamente ¡esto me parece maravilloso!
We all are invited to the funeral of the it bags:
Spy bag, Stam bag, Paddington, Babe, Roxanne... it doesn't matter the name, they are all over. Is it the mass media fault?
Todos estamos invitados al funeral de los "it-bags", da igual que se llamen Stam, que Spy que Paddington que Roxanne... están muertos. Todos. ¿Será por culpa de los medios?

i totally agree. something about the it bag seems so lame and unnecessary. although i did have a crush on the paddington for some time...
Estoy totalmente deacuerdo!
it shoes!!!
Hi there-I think bags are becoming so much more expensive and out of reach for 'normal' people, hence the demise of the 'it' bag....
I'm so with you! Shoes rock!

You are so right, the it bag is not so classy anymore...everybody wants to be Carine Roitefeld...who does not even use bags!
Well I'm not surprised and the focus on shoes obviously makes me happy. But I guess this could also happen to the "it shoes"!
Todo vuelve,éstá demostrado así que mejor guardar que tirar...
and yes!!! yo también soy del shoe-side! unos buenos zapatos lo dicen todo.
I stick with a classic line bag... nothing trendy... I guess I'm not an it girl!
I love how the heels are like work of art!
No es por culpa de los medios, es por esta inmesa crisis!
Pero hay bolsos eternos, que nunca morirán. El 2.55, el amazona o el kelly!! Esos perdurarán, porque ya lo hicieron!!

"It" anything - shoes & bags - are a bit overrated. I love classics =] But I still love the Fendi Spy & Paddington... =]
Bisous,

It bags are definitely going down the drain nowadays.I was happy about that because its an expensive thing to maintain. BUT the problem is that a new trend emerged which is the IT-shoe.
I'd rather have an It-Bag than an It-shoe because you can get more wear out of it, and you can wear it for more than one season and still be trendy. They also cost almost the same price nowadays!
I think it bags were half media and half our faults. Everyone wanted to be photographed with one and have one named after them--etc. And then people had like 10 bags over 1k each and didn't know what to do with them all. While shoes you always need and now that there is more importance on shoes, women can easily buy and dispose of them vs. a bag.
I wish that all "it" things would just die and people did their own thing.
i want alllll of those shoes.
i think my favourite are the prada ones but it's a hard choice :)
