Spring 2010 Handbag Trends: Snakeskin, python & other reptiles

Tags: Accessories Trend | Handbags | Snakeskin | Spring 2010 | Statement Handbags

Reptiles & amphibians were very noticeable on the Spring/Summer 2010 runway - the most notable collection from Alexander McQueen. "Plato's Atlantis" was a dreamy underwater world of glorious colour with fish scale and psychedelic python prints.

And now one of the most luxurious handbag trends this season is snakeskin & python effects - you can find quite the selection of eye-catching colour, as well as subtle nude & neutral shades (which remains the biggest trend of the new season). The largest selection of python & snakeskin comes from Jimmy Choo - the iconic brand updated signature handbags in dazzling python.. both the Odette and Saba are available in new reptile embossed prints.

Traditional snakeskin is neutral & brown, but that doesn't mean you can't find stunning bursts of colour. Pauric Sweeney has a fabulous statement pink patchwork python bag shown below, and even Lanvin got into the reptile game with a soft metallic python bag. More below..

Spring 2010 Accessories Trend: Splash of Hot Pink Part II

This is Part II of a Hot Pink Profile, a tropical neon shade that is fast becoming THE must-have accent colour! Part I of the pink profile covered hot pink clothing, a welcome & stylish change from the neutral palette that dominates the new season. And now we have accessories - which covers everything from Handbags, Shoes, Jewellery, Scarves... and anything else that isn't clothing!

As usual, style icon Sarah Jessica Parker was Spring fashion forward when she arrived at The Late Show With David Letterman for her appearance back in December. Now THIS is major splash of pink - in addition to the colour, she has given instant recognition to a new designer. Her bag is by Diane De Maria, called the Small Bonnie Satchel, and we will definitely provide links if/when this collection becomes available online.

Hot Handbag Alert: Mulberry Spring 2010 Collection & buy must-have Alexa handbag online!

Tags: Celebrity Trends | Handbags | Mulberry | Spring 2010 | Statement Handbags

It's time to take a look at upcoming handbags for Spring 2010, and the most talked-about of the new season - Mulberry's Alexa handbag! Named after errant British model-turned-TV-presenter Alexa Chung, it is widely considered to be one of the first must-have bags of 2010. Speaking of Alexa, her MTV show "It's On With Alexa Chung" has just been cancelled - at the same time Vogue magazine has named her the most stylish person of 2009. Talk about mixed messages!

A quick look at Mulberry's Spring/Summer 2010 shows an homage to faded beauty.. a bit of naughty schoolgirls combined with prom queens, according to Creative Director Emma Hill. What I see here is a very wearable collection that combines a quirky girlie style with usual Mulberry urban chic (meant to be worn in the heart of London!). Collections photos below.. complete with poacher jacket, shorts & feminine dresses in a soft natural & pastel colour palette.

Check out photos of Alexa with her very own Alexa, and highlights of Mulberry Spring 2010 below...

Fall/Winter 2009 Handbag Trends: Chain Link Straps

Tags: Chains | Handbags | Statement Handbags | Winter 2009

There's a new twist on an existing handbag trend, and it looks like our favorite celebs already have a head start! Rachel Bilson has been snapped out & about in Los Angeles carrying a dynamite new chain link handbag by Derek Lam, shown here.

Which brings me to the trend.. chain strap handbags! While this isn't new (Chanel classic bags come to mind), they have started to appear in all shapes & sizes, with added touches like fringe & hardware. You may prefer shoulder bags, like Rachel, but satchels & top handle bags also have chains to choose from.

The colour trend in handbags this season is quite varied - if you're wearing basic black, don't hesitate to add a splash of colour (red, or purple), or even an interesting pattern like Marc Jacobs' green & blue Misfit bag. Continue reading below...

Anya Hindmarch: Hot new handbag, the Handsfree

Tags: Anya Hindmarch | Handbags | Shopping

Recently spotted this new offering from Anya Hindmarch, it's the sweetest anti-statement handbag you will find! Practical, chic, slick and stylish, the Handsfree is a mini cross-body that allows you to maintain the designer handbag status, without the extra burden associated with designer bags.

Statement handbags are still current, of course, but you will see fabrics getting lighter, hardware becoming more manageable (no longer resposible for a sore arm at the end of the day), and an overall increase in practicality.

Anya Hindmarch is one of those labels that has achieved success for both impeccable quality & style, but also recognizing the different needs of women. More below..
