Pretty Pleated Purses

Purse designers are always on the lookout for ways to make their purses more interesting, trendier and of course, the new hot thing!
Pleats are showing up as an interesting detail in quite a few different accessory collections. They can be formed by sewing them into the leather or fabric, or just when the bag straps are adjusted a certain way. Some designers are putting little pleats all over the purse, or just a couple of big ones to make a statement.
And some purses have pleats that really, seriously should have been reconsidered (link may be somewhat NSFW).
Luckily, the good pleats outway the bad – and if you want to try some pleated purses on for size, here are some lovely ones:
The “Garnet” pleated purse by Coach, made with purple leather and silver hardware.
The pleated & studded hobo by Treesje in either black or grey, with removable handles.
Go for elegant simplicity with Nordstrom’s house brand glazed leather pleated hobo, available in black, purple and teal.
