With a handbag being such an important part of a women’s wardrobe both in terms of style and function, it is not surprising that most of us are constantly on the look out for that perfect handbag. The perfect handbag is one that is just the right size for everything that you would like to carry, with just the right amount of pockets and compartments and is easy to carry. In terms of style, it will go with most items in your wardrobe and add something special to all of your outfits. Although, many leather handbags are classic and timeless, each season the trends will vary a little giving you a fresh choice of luxury handbags. Here are some of the key handbag trends for 2010.
The satchel -Inspired partly by the Mulberry Alexa bag, satchels are one of the seasons most popular bags. Chloe also has their own luxurious version, the Chloe Louise which is Alligator skin with gold clasp and edging.  Satchels are neat, easy to carry and perfect for a multitude of looks from preppy and smart to casual and boho. The satchel is a small handbag and only really suitable for those who have a few things to carry.
Embellishment and texture - texture on handbags is really big this year with feathered or sculpted surfaces on the bag. Bows, flowers, ruching, fringing and punched out holes are also interesting features for this seasons handbags. These bags are primarily in neutral colours which is a great way to add texture and interest to the seasons neutral outfits.
Slouchy handbag - big slouchy bags are a trend that has been going on for some time now. They are the perfect way to accessorise a casual outfit.Â
Across the body bags – apart from the satchel, which is worn across the body, there were some other across the body styles as seen at Ralph Lauren. The animal prints on these bags made them very much a feature accessory but this look would also work well with neutral colours. These larger across the body bags are suitable for those that have lots to carry and want an easy and practical way to carry it.
Studded - metal studs on handbags are another trend that has been going on for some while, they are a great way of adding a bit of rock chic to an outfit.
Neutral colours - this seasons trend for neutral colours also extends to accessories. A neutral coloured luxury handbag is a great investment as it will last for many seasons and will co-ordinate with many different outfits. It will go equally well with both bright colours and neutrals.
No matter what the handbag trends are for the season, a great handbag is an investment that will last for many years. It should be practical, suit your lifestyle and add a touch of style to your outfits. It should also be hard wearing, durable, comfortable to carry and big enough to fit in what ever you need to carry.
