Crochet bags have become a must. 2021 saw him enter the Olympus of global fashion trends: the most established brands in international fashion have in fact consecrated crochet, proposing knitted bags that have conquered even the youngest, discovering an ancient technique capable of creating a link between generations.
Let’s discover the meaning and origins of the crochet technique, a technique so ancient and still so fascinating today. The word crochet is an archaic French term and literally means “little hook”. The crochet technique dates back to the 1600s and was used to tie different pieces of lace together.
Subsequently with crochet a new type of fabric was indicated, as well as the characteristic metal stick of about 20 cm, crushed in its length and with a hook needle at its end, an instrument used to produce the same fabric. In Italian it is also called crochet .
Currently, often accompanied by the adjective “ granny “ (grandmother’s), crochet and crochet refer more generally to the artisan yarn processing technique that is carried out one stitch at a time, i.e. each stitch is completed before the next one begins. but with a single thread.
The technique, thanks to the versatility that distinguishes it, allows to create many creations with the use of different materials, including wool and cotton, which give strength to accessories such as large and capacious bags, thus destined to contain heavier weights. .
Characterized by a light, fresh and casual soul, crochet bags become the perfect and inevitable accessory for women of all ages in spring and the hottest season.
Thanks to their versatility they are suitable for enhancing the most romantic and feminine looks but also the most light-hearted and unconventional ones. The knitted bags thus become the must-have piece, to be used from morning to evening, always right to complete a last minute outfit change.
Whether it’s a small or large shoulder model, the crochet bag has the power to evoke bucolic scenarios, expansive fields and towering mountains, the homely warmth of our grandmothers’ homes, intent on knitting, and they remind us of their warm crochet blankets, made with “granny squares”, the colorful crochet squares.
It is precisely the “granny squares” that characterize crochet bags, which today have become the accessory that, more than any other, defines the “granny style”, the style of the grandmother, a style that is becoming popular all over the world: very young grandchildren often they dress in the same way as their grandmothers, from whom they may have even “stolen” some vintage garments or their own crochet handbag !
Resembling a “grandmother” no longer has an impertinent and offensive meaning. On the contrary: in 2022 the granny style is the example of style to strive for to be fashion and chic.
Crochet is such a precious technique that it is capable of creating bonds between one generation and another. Already in the seventies i granny square were made with the leftovers of wool, acquiring an anti-consumerist and sustainable value, today more relevant than ever.
