# Top Ten Bag Trends of 2007 \- a Year in Review ...

**1. Shade of Gray**

Gray was the new Black of 2007! [The YSL Uptown](https://goo.gl/xrFQa3) was our favorite bag this year and in gray, it tops our list as the ultimate for 2007.

**2. Patent shine **

_Patent leather grew up from punk rock to city sleek in 2007._ The Marni balloon in patent was the all around trend bag.

**3. Bold color **

It was all about big color. Purples and Reds, oh my! The _Mulberry Mabel in patent purple_ is patently fabulous and made a notable presence in our lives this year.

**4. Metallic glow **

Everything shined this year, how could we not love all the glitz? _The Pauric Sweeney_ tote is a perfect example of why we love the glamour of the shine.

**5. Big Bags**

At 17" high by 11" wide, the _YSL Large Downtwon_ topped this year's big bag mania!

**6. Oversized clutch **

The giant clutch is one of this year's hugest trends. Any bigger this _Carlos Falchi alligator clutch_ will need its own porter!

**7. Exotic Fever**

If you were paying attention (or actually you didn't need to, we kinda shoved it down your throats), _exotic skin was our favorite trend this year_. We could not get enough despite the harsh criticisms from our pals at PETA.

**8. Environmentally Friendly**

How do we get through this list without mentioning the sudden craze in environmentalism this year? _Anya Hindmarch's I'm Not a Plastic Bag_ created lines around the block and made headlines around the world. Was it Al Gore or was it Keira Knightly? I think it was the $15 price tag.

**9. Chain details **

Made popular by Chanel, the chain details are seen on bags from every designer but none more prominent this year than by _Marc Jacobs_.

**10. Geometric shape **

Designers are stepping out of the box, literally, as in the common boxy shape of bags. [Sang A](https://web.archive.org/web/https://bagsnob.com/2007/07/sang_a_bags.html) put a slant on the typical clutch and stood out as the celebrities' chosen one.
