Accessory Report: Small Satchels

Move over large totes and hobos—the small satchel is here and making quite the impression both on and off the runways! Characterized by a boxy shape, flap silhouette, and ultra-long strap, these petite purses offer the ideal amalgam of ladylike grace and modern edge, which is why trendsetters like Diane Kruger and Rachel Bilson adore them. We love them too because they manage to be both functional and sophisticated; whether they're worn across the body or on one shoulder, these hands-free carriers are perfect for all your on-the-go moments. Even better: small satchels always add a little panache to more casual, daytime ensembles, making them a must-buy for summer!

Accessory Report: Bright Boho Bags

Last month we noticed that some of our favorite tastemakers were opting for miniature satchels to complement their lightly layered looks as they transitioned between seasons. While those polished purses are certainly still fashionable, now that summer is in full swing, we've observed a number of stylish celebrities who are reaching for casual carryalls instead! Specifically, ladies like Sienna Miller and Rachel Bilson have started a microtrend and are making bright bohemian bags a must-have accessory. We've totally fallen for these slouchy sacks too: they add a pop of color and a dose of patterned or textural intrigue to any neutral ensemble, plus they give off a great gypset vibe that is spot-on for summer dressing! Additionally—and this is always a plus—they are enticingly functional, being large and sturdy enough to toss in a sporty swimsuit, heels, or a sweater, should your warm-weather travels require you to go from city-to-beach or day-to-night

Summer starts with nudes

If only we could change our seasonal wardrobes as easily as a chameleon does its’ skin. Shifting from the sleek black and grey’s of winters’ wardrobe towards summers’ more colourful pallette presents some challenges. Specifically, the lack of sun and an overdose of winter warmers doesn’t cut the colour check criteria.

Make way for nudes. Seen on the ramps around the world, this poetic blend of toffee’s, blush, burnt caramel, mink and soft grey’s is blended into a rich and luxurious statement of draping, textures and movement.

Here are some key pieces that successfully pull the look together and introduce the workable and totally wearable summer story.

Trend Report: Funky Purses

Funky purses give character to any outfit without going overboard:

From animal prints and sequined clutches to lips (yes, lips), there’s a purse for everyone’s taste and budget

Bag trends for Spring/Summer 2009

With the huge influence of recession many designers have focused their attention on accessories rather than garments. Jewelry, shoes, handbags of this season are very unusual and bright.



Besides, they are present everywhere, in every single collection, worn with pride and an elegant air by all the top models on the catwalk.
The handbag is no longer considered by designers as a mere accessory that can be included or may be ignored. It has become a fundamental element of a woman’s look. Its mission is not limited to practicality; it is chic and complements a woman’s personality and style.



Trends of this season very much, from highly practical huge totes to tiny eccentric clutches for evening wear. Every woman of fashion will be able to find something that suits her style and taste.


Wide, very comfortable bags in all colors imaginable – beige, white, black, metallic, gold, violet, orange, green, blue, etc. – will be extremely popular this season.

Finally dont forget the oversized bag!!!!

Carrying a big bag has been a trend that has been around for a while now. Not only is it a trend, it is also very practical to put all your stuff in one bag, instead of 2 or 3, which I have been known to do before.


Peaches and Pixie Geldof took the big bag to another level howevere - when they were seen showing off the new Mulberry Roxanne tote

Handbags make any outfit work for you. It can take a drab look straight to high fashion in a matter of seconds.
