Leather handbags are definitely on trend this season. Nothing says autumn fashion better than a trendy little clutch or purse. The best thing about leather handbags is that aside from looking great and adding to an ensemble, they serve a function. Most women have so many items to tote around that it would be nearly impossible to do it without a great purse.
Leather bags come in a variety of colors. There are the staple neutral colors like taupe, cream, and chocolate that accent most day to day ensembles nicely. Colored leather also works well. Black, red, and gray are popular choices, but many people like to express themselves and carry a more exotic colored purse in purple, yellow, or green. Different textures to choose from include the traditional soft and supple leather, alligator, ostrich, and python skin designs.
Handbags come in many sizes and styles. Decorative touches like zippers, tassels, and metallic studs add zest and flair to what would have been just a plain purse. The size of the bag is important not just for the fashion element but also for functionality. For an evening out, a wristlet or clutch are perfect for holding money, identification, and a lip balm. The working woman gets the most use out of a portfolio style bag. Mothers can eliminate the need for carrying a separate diaper bag by carrying an over sized bag that will accommodate her children's necessities as well as her own. Flaps and pockets also help increase functionality.
