Our tips for carrying the Leopard Print bag
To look great every time you go out, you need to know a few tricks. Here are our tips:
1) Choose your print carefully
Some prints are subtle, while others are much more daring. Choose what suits your style, considering the shape of the print, its color, and the size of the spots when creating your look. A dark print, for example, is best suited to brunettes and women with dark eyes in general. While light spots pair perfectly with light-colored hair and blue or green eyes. 👀
2) Consider the Opportunity
Leopard print works for almost any occasion. Okay, we're not suggesting showing up to Grandma's funeral inleopard leggings ! But for most occasions, you're safe with a classic animal print bag: A roomy hobo is ideal for travel, while a drawstring crossbody is suitable for vacations where you'll need your hands free, or a clutch is a great option for storing your evening essentials.
3) Dress or jeans?
Animal print is pretty classic. So if you don't want to look like a fashion victim, avoid wearing an abundance of trendy pieces with the animal print handbag .
✔️ If you want a simple, versatile look, opt for slim jeans and a button-down shirt to keep the rest of the look chic.
✔️ For more formal occasions, try a black and white dress.
4) Let the Bag speak for itself
Ultimately, if you're unsure how to wear an animal print bag , remember to keep your look simple and let the bag be the focal point of your style. Our best advice: keep it simple and classic. Dressed all in black, for example, with just your printed bag to make your outfit pop, you've won! 💁♀️

The Leopard Bag and Fashion
This week, we met Camille, a 25-year-old woman, who tells us about her "relationship" with printed bags. She tells us:
Just before my senior year of high school, I decided I wanted to take my fashion choices up a notch or two. I'd always loved clothes and enjoyed trying new trends, but I usually opted for safety and understated clothing. I remember doing a little shopping after school and finding a pair of (faux) leather pants and aleopard skirt that I knew would make my senior year of high school awesome!
I don't really remember if the last year was that fantastic, but I know I continued to develop my personal style that year. Especially by trying types of clothes I'd never tried before.
And while this leopard skirt made several appearances that year, I know that leopard hasn't really been a staple in my wardrobe since then. I tend to love my leopard print in small doses . Recently, I stumbled upon a stunningleopard handbag by chance on Instagram on the My Léopard account (@myleopard.fr) and I fell madly in love with these unusual accessories. Since then, it's almost an obsession for me and my closet is filled with different types of printed bags. 👜

The 22-year-old model brought her signature '90s style to Paris, and as usual, street magic ensued. Hadid served up '90s perfection in an all-black getup that looked like a masterful blend of TLC's Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and The Matrix. We love it! 🖤
Wearing a sleeveless turtleneck, loose-fitting cargo pants, and combat boots, the model reinforced her nostalgic sensibility by topping off her look with a miniature crossbody bag . The bag that reigned supreme in the '90s and early 2000s is clearly making a comeback, as Hadid has worn the same style in both crocodile and patent leather variations.
