As the weather begins to cool off and the chill in the air necessities some covering up, you can finally put on your fuzzy, new sweater. (yay!) It's time to take the tags off of all of those fabulous new pieces that have been sitting in your closet since the fall fashion season came onto the market in August. Putting together some great outfits also means accessorizing properly with shoes, jewelry, and of course, great handbags.
So what's in style for winter 2011? The new "heritage bags" that have been showing up all over the big design houses. Heritage bags are updated versions of the great classics. Designers know that while limited edition, seasonal styles are fun and profitable, the real money lies in the glorified "cash cows" of the classics. With a few updates to make them more modern, the heritage collections are aimed at the high society, so those who want to join it. Superb construction, exquisite detailing and the finest materials make these bags totally desirable, and they are in extremely high demand.
While we can't offer you the world for a penny, we can let you know that there are gorgeous, designer-inspired replicas of heritage bags that are available for a fraction of the price of the real thing, and you can find them easily at many web sites.
Ladylike, demure handbags are all the rage right now for casual use. Petite structures and fine detailing make these bags beautiful to look at and make the wearer feel like a princess. For winter, there are tiny, fur handbags in cool, icy shades with sumptuous extras like carved hardware and jeweled straps. These are excellent for a date or a small excursion.
In a completely opposite trend, studs are in this season. In patterns or all over, they are "disco chic" and dress up an otherwise boring outfit. Great with your favorite, dressed down look for that extra punch. Poorly designed versions can look tacky so check around and be sure about which one you like before you purchase.
Luxury bags are all over the place, too. Whereas they were once reserved for the elite class or for special occasions, casual wearers are sporting them at every type of event, a.m. or p.m., to work or to go shopping. With designer inspired handbags, we can all attain a little luxury in our lives.
