Leather Handbags are going to be the go to essential handbag material that is making a BIG statement this upcoming Season. After all, leather is classic and timeless, but we will see some new modern twists on the traditional leather purse. This Season more than ever, the handbag design and embellishments will really stand out, allowing a classic leather handbag to take on a different persona. Details will be exaggerated to really allow your eye to ''take notice'' of unique one of a kind designs. The colors will always embrace a new Season of Neutrals, but today the use of the rich jewel tones are ramped up as well.
Metallics have always been popular, but now they will have a slightly softer more sophisticated appearance, that look luxe and opulent. The blues, purples, greens and oranges are a refreshing addition to the traditional gold, silver and bronze tones, which will cover the complete color palette for Fall and Winter 2012.
The over-sized clutch is being celebrated, often with a chain strap being a wonderful second option to give your clutch a secondary look. These handbags are comfortable to carry, yet hold everything you need for the mom on the go, or an executive that doesn't wish to have the bulk of a larger purse.
The animal print on handbags definitely adds the ''wild side'' to your fashion accessories. You will see animal print used often on almost anything this Season, from clothing, jewelry, shoes, boots and of course handbags. In previous years, the animal print saturated the overall look, where as today, ''less if more''. Animal prints look best, when used in moderation and added as an extra punch or impact to your ensemble.
Of course textures never go out of style, so exotic animal skins will be used, some faux furs and the luxurious simplicity of satins and buttery smooth leathers. The mixing of materials, design patterns in fashion today, have been replicated in the designer handbags as well. No longer is anything matchy matchy, but styles, designs and colors that do the polar opposite are what makes this years trends so exciting.
So if your looking to broaden your horizons and venture where you might never have done so before, then let Hands Off My Bag show you the way, so start your shopping today!
