Fall 2009 Handbag Trends Part 2

In part one of the Fall 2009 handbag trends, I discussed and showcased the fantastic bags in the tough rocker chic and high shine & metallic themes. You’ve seen the dark hued bags with metal chains and studs details as well as bags with metallic sheens. Now it’s time for part two!

Another trend for fall focuses on Animal Prints. Lizards, pythons and crocodiles… oh my goodness you’re in for a treat! If you love a bag with a bit of a wild streak, fall is your season to break them out.

Maybe you want a handbag that not only looks amazing but feels amazing too? Another theme for Fall are the wonderfully Textured handbags. Your sight and sense of touch will be intrigued with suede, twisted leather pleating, bold stitching and sparkling stones.
