Five Handbags Styles We Love For Spring – Splurge or Save

by Mira on April 22, 2011 · 1 comment

It is spring handbags time…Spring has sprung and it is time for the florals, flowy blouses, and the foray of lightweight and cottony-soft fabrics. With those transitions comes the transition to lighter, softer, and more nominal handbags. Though studs and sequins were mega trends last season, the most up-to-the-minute fashion style is all about minimalistic chic.

As the grass gets greener and the flowers start to bloom, think nude colors, stiffer silhouettes, and softer textures. No doubt fringe will definitely be one of the exceptions to the rule, but the longing for fashion spring trends of a more refined palette as streamlined silhouettes will be quite prominent in our own favorite five handbags of spring.

Whether you’re going to splurge or save, you will find trendy purses that meet any fashionable girl’s budget:

The Satchel:

Splurge: Proenza Schouler PS1 Medium Leather Satchel $1,595

Save: Marc by Marc Jacobs D1 Vintage Leather Satchel $428

The trendiest of spring’s purses, the satchel is a sleek, structured accent to any outfit. Supermodels and celebrities have gone ga-ga over this new style thanks to its simplicity, sophisticated edge, and vintage feel.

We love Proenza Schouler PS1 Medium Leather Satchel in Coral becasue it marries two of the latest trends into one: the brightness and boldness of coral pink and the sexy style of the satchel.
