Hangbag Trends for Spring 2010
This spring, handbag styles are as varied as ever. There are Edwardian-like touches vis-a-vis angelic pastel colors and lucite accents, urban and glamorous cross body silhouettes, and Alice in Wonderland-inspired designs. From Furla to Cole Haan, here is a smattering of the trendiest offerings for the season.
Clear-ly Glamorous:
Translucent crystals aren't just for your baubles; consider theme a glittering do for bags, as well. "Crystals bring another interpretation of shine to handbags. For spring, designers pushed the trend with cracked glass, large clear sequins and lucite on leather," says eBay Style Director Constance White.
Soft Shades:
From the New York runways of Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors and Tommy Hilfiger to the European shows of Christian Dior, Burberry and Valentino, models looked pretty in cotton-candy shades of soft pink, lilac and muted yellow. Since you can only where a pistachio-hued dress so many times, translate this trend into your wardrobe with a new handbag.
Cross Body Bags:
If you don't own one yet, invest in a great cross body bag. "Cross body bags are a huge hit at Henri Bendel's right now," says the retailer's President and CEO Ed Bucciarelli. "They've been incredibly popular with our customer because they're an accessible interpretation of the military trend that we saw on the runways." It's a great anti-clutch option, too.
Alice in Wonderland:
Few movies will have as much influence on fashion this year as Tim Burton's interpretation of "Alice in Wonderland." White told StyleList to expect plenty of, "fanciful shapes and whimsical adornments." And she was right - look no further than the gallery below to see a Queen of Hearts clutch!
