You can only have so many black or taupe handbags. Everyone needs to infuse a bit of color into their wardrobe through colorful handbags and accessories. Some women don’t like to wear too much color because they think it’s too bold. However, you can choose subtle, pretty shades instead of brights.

This Tano hobo is fabulous choice. It feature pesto green leather that will work well with all your summer outfits and take you straight into fall without missing a beat. This bag has two front flap pockets with zipper details. It also has other interesting accents, including the belted sides.

When Kate Spade burst onto the fashion scene years ago, I fell in love with her handbags. And almost every bag that comes out since from the Kate Spade label, I adore.
