2011 Fall Handbag Trends by Guest Blogger Sarah Ellis
Although summer is in full swing, fall is fast approaching! Are you gearing up for the new fall trend lineup? I’m looking forward to yummy new fabrics, rich colors, and neutrals to make those colors pop! Fall is my favorite season for many reasons, but the most important being, more layers=more clothes. Good excuse to shop more? I think so.
But, now that I’ve gotten to a point where I’ve truly built up the basics in my wardrobe, my next conquest is accessorizing. What fun!
Style.com (my direct line to fashion trend forecasts) chose some big trends for handbags this fall and I’m loving them! Straight from the runways of Michael Kors, YSL, Lanvin and more come portfolio handbags - also known as “envelope clutches.” LOVING the luxury I see there, but not loving the fact that my job can’t support my expensive taste. But never fear! Handbag Heaven is near! Trends translate at every price point, so (thankfully) picking up on this lovely trend can be extremely affordable. So the portfolio trend (including ah-may-zing details like faux python skin) can be all mine for under $50! Delicious. These clutches move seamlessly from professional to nighttime attire and the warm colors are perfect for fall. What says leaves changing color and fall more than warm hues of orange and red?
Handbag Heaven has already geared up for fall trend shopping, and their fall handbags - featuring exotic materials and lovely clasps (also spotted on the runway) - are ripe for the picking! Find a handbag that suits your needs and your tastes and, of course, gives your ensemble a kick!
