One of the most practical accessories anyone has in their arsenal is the handbag. A trusted purse, whether big or small, often contains one’s life inside. Whether it’s a tiny clutch that means you only plan to take your phone, lipstick, and wallet to a wedding; or a huge leather tote bag that contains even a change of clothes. The fact of the matter is that bags are important and for that reason, receive the attention that they do.
This summer alone, we’ve seen numerous incarnations of the handbag. Particularly basket bags fashioned from materials such as bamboo. However, as Fall approaches, we can certainly expect to see some further up and coming trends. Below are a few examples of some possible trends:
