Some bags can be boring if you place them next to other bags. I mean 'boring' in the sense of you see this kind of bag everywhere; it doesn't have uniqueness.
Have you tried looking at bags in bag stores? To me it seems to be categorized into 2 kinds: the designer bags (or fakes), and the mass production bags. Now, of course mass production bags you see the same bags from china everywhere. But it's not what I'm saying. I'm not talking about the exact same design with just change of fabric. I'm not talking about on
e mass production bag designer that does the same; but about the fact that different designers making the same kind of bags that look like each other. Isn't that interesting? Many designers – same bags!
Now, the designer bags. Sometimes I'm amazed of their designs, and I love looking at them and learning from them. I believe they are the ones to look up to. Because although they make the same bags a few times so that we will all enjoy their beautiful bags, their designs are not boring. And even though they make the same style of bags (each with their own), each bag they bring to the world is different not only from their other bags, but also from the other designers.
A designer's greatness is determined by their creativity and their ability to stand out.
I'm not saying you have to make THE best bag in the world, but to make a bag that cannot be compared to others, originality wise. And make each bag a little different from the last one, while keeping the creativity in it.
Sometimes it's worth your time to sit down and come up with a design, a few – even better. It might take some time. Look for inspiration anywhere you can. Take a designer's bag and think what you would have done differently and how you would make it better and more original. This will also teach you how to think creatively.
The not boring bags are also depended on the fabrics and the use of them. Notice I said "the use of them". Because it's not all about finding the best and rare fabrics. That's really not the point. When I'm talking about boring, sometimes the combination of fabrics can be boring. Expectable. For example, if you want your main fabric to be a black and white fabric, it might be a little boring if you complete it with a solid black fabric. There is no excitement. That's why you might wanna consider completing the black and white with a fierce color. Even outrages, think outside the box and don't be afraid. Sometimes the most outrages things are the ones that stand out and get the attention, no matter how out
there they might seem.
When thinking original, you need to think what could be done that hasn't been done. You need to invent things, so later on others will try to imitate you. But you will be the first.
However, I gotta add, not boring doesn't have to be the most original thing. It can be something that has been done before, but with an edge or a twist. It's how you use things – the materials, the order of them, the possibilities… you can do the same as someone else did, but make it your own. Take a design that seems boring and alter it into something special. Some take an already made bag that they don't really like, and alter it to their liking, so it won't be so boring. Like some do with jeans! It's also a great way to figure out what your style is, and also learn the possibilities of what can be done to something.
The definition of 'boring' overall is in the eyes of the viewer. Some also get bored fast (like me. That's why I change the blog design every few weeks! lol). So you need to think what excites YOU. Like with passion. Not all people share the same passion for something. But to those who do like the same passion, it excites. With bags, if someone has passion for them, they will be exited to see something exiting in the bags they get. Although some like a simple bag. And that's okay. But if you look at designer bags, they don't make regular seen before bags. They also combine their own style that they're recognized for. And the fact that it's a simple bag, doesn't mean it has to be boring. Here is your challenge. Make a bag that can be someone's passion from scratch, and excite them!
