Handbags

This handbag is a great little addition to your wardrobe. The design is so simple and yet brilliant. The solid structure and sharp edges give this little piece so much attitude and will go with almost any outfit.

Hitting the nail on the head of the ‘folk’ trend is this funky full fringe detail bag from All Saints. With its distressed leather look, this is a buy you shouldn’t pass up.

I can’t get over how well All Saints have taken a traditional, boring design and made it a must-have modern buy. Rather than leather though, All Saints have chosen to use cotton to make this more pliable – giving it a canvas-like feel and slouch characteristics.

A huge trend for Autumn/Winter ’11 is folk, e.g. patchwork, crochet, anything that looks like it could have been handmade; and this bag from Fossil fits right in.

I love the structure of this piece, which has been made in leather and embossed with a crocodile print. The clever thing about this piece is that it comes with an internal pouch that you can expand to make the bag bigger if you end up buying more than you intended. The strong, leather, rolled handles make it easy to carry this either by hand or shoulder.

This gorgeous little piece is perfect for nights out or for those who can travel lightly during the day. The rigidly structured shape of this screams elegance, and the black clasp at a distance looks like carbonado (a black diamond).
