Fall 2009 handbag collections are chock full of wonderful materials, textures, rich colours, and elegant details. Fall handbags are sophisticated, chic and highly versatile. There are fantastic themes to them as well – tough rocker chic with chain details and metal studs to shiny patent leathers and glittering finishes, to wild animal prints, interesting textures and the return of fabulous charcoal greys and silvers. I will go through the themes and trends and showcase examples of each.

The Tough Rocker Chic handbags have classic shapes but give off an edgy vibe. Hardware details include studs, zippers, chain handles and straps. Colours tend to be black or towards darker side of the spectrum.
