Bags to flirt with this fall

Designs that work for you

Bucket bags, oversized clutches, and giant hobo bags rule when it comes to exhibiting style and holding all of life’s necessities.  An overstuffed travel bag in a trendy color with dangles and charms signals that we are back to the bustling nature of life on the go. Smaller bags, dubbed East-to-West, now appear in elongated rectangular shapes.

Colors that buoy you

The brighter summer reds that have been so popular now deepen to shades of burnt cherry, candy apple red, and deep red wine for fall. Olive and split pea green come in a close second for fall color picks. Leopard print has also returned in everything from clutches to cross-body bags to full-size totes. Leopard print is considered neutral and can be paired with anything!

Details, details

Metal ring handles and circular top handles adorn all kinds of bags. Another trend to note is a fringe made from leather, metal, and natural materials.  Funky charms and tchotchkes dangle from purses, loading them up with personality.  On oversized bags, exterior compartments provide aesthetic interest and a place for everything and everything in its place.
