Pleasing Pockets
The pure volume of what the average woman totes around with her on a day-to-day basis should have warranted this valuable design function long ago! Inside and out, purse designers are making organization both functional and foxy this season.
Cross-Body Bags
Watch for a mass-migration from last season's fashionista fave - the over-sized tote, to comfortable and practical cross-body bags.
Softer Statements
Delicious buttery textures, complimented by a softer colour palette puts a warm weather twist on the traditional hobo. Look for muted metallic detailing for added seasonal sass!
Flirty Florals
From old-school tapestry prints to luxurious leather rosettes, floral details are a growing trend for Spring/Summer 2010.
Easy on Embellishments
Large buckles, chunky hoops and bulky zippers are replaced by softer embellishment and construction techniques including pleats, ruffles, shirring and tassels.
Carry Options
"Hoorah" for the functional flexibility of multi-handled bags! A good purse investment will be practical for most occasions.
Blast from the Past
Channel the 80's with the rebirth of the classic rectangle flap bag. Make an edgy statement with patent finishes, cool textures and industrial hardware.
Green Movement
Be kind to our planet: scour secondhand stores for retro gems, or support designers who use sustainable and recyclable materials. Eco-chic is the number one trend of the season.
