Tribes

"However, the idea of “one It Bag driving trends is gone,” said Ana Correa, associate editor of footwear and accessories at trend-forecasting firm WGSN. Fashion has become more tribal and each tribe can have its own It bag. Fashion also is fragmented, with shoppers discovering bags under $700 from labels such as Staud, Mlouye and others, through social media rather than magazines." https://www.wsj.com/articles/an-it-bag-that-broke-fashions-rules-11557838586
