Handbags are still getting larger and larger and tending to be more those that you carry on your wrist rather than the shoulder bag type, although with the handles of these bags being so big as well you can easily carry them over your shoulder if you want to.
Patent leather is still very popular and this year these bags are being adorned with chains and dangly charms and lots of zips everywhere.
To go along with the bright and vivid coloured shoes that are out this year we can also find the bags to match although it is not so fashionable or necessary any more to have your bags and shoes matching.
The other material that is being used this year for bags is that thick mottled plastic first used by firms like Louis Vuitton, Tous, or Christian Dior which has their logo printed all over. This is a very sturdy material for a bag and it maintains its shape much better than leather bags which tend to soften up over time and begin to sag where they shouldn’t. It is also much easier to clean only needing a damp cloth to be passed over it every now and then.
For the evening out we go to the far extreme and we can opt for a much smaller bag. The clutch bag is the simplest, sometimes used on its own or other times with a chain shoulder strap. These clutch bags can be little works of arts and for the evening it really catches the eye to have one that is unique. There are some that are made from mosaic mirrors, others out of mother-of-pearl, others made up from fur or ostrich feathers and the most in thing is to have a clutch bag covered with Swarovski glass.
