Fall Handbag Trends For Less

Star Stevenson — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 18:24:45 +0000

I wrote about the upcoming fall handbag trends such as the tough rocker chic, high shine/metallics, animal prints and textures and of course, my favourite, grey handbags. However, those beautiful bags don’t necessarily fall into the ‘reasonable price range’ for many people. So I did a bit of sleuthing and found these super cute bags that play into all the top trends for fall but won’t take two month’s rent to buy.

Anne Klein Large Perfect Tote ($158) – Take a walk on the wild side with this zebra print and patent leather tote bag!
Calvin Klein Metallic Pleats Mini Hobo ($168) – A cute shoulder bag that incorporates a gorgeous grey shade and tough zippers.
Tahari Tulip Hobo ($458) – A lovely bag with great texture and a killer purple hue.
Dooney & Bourke Patent Large Cindy Tote ($245) – A throw everything in and go tote in a cool shiny purple.
MICHAEL Michael Kors Delancey Clutch ($198) – A great looking clutch with stud details to give your nighttime outfit a rock edge.
MICHAEL Michael Kors Crinkled Patent Leather Tote ($198) – Patent leather is taken to another another level in purple.
Cole Haan Phoebe Small Triple Zip Satchel ($498) – A beautiful shade of grey meets sweet pleating details, perfect for work and every day.
Furla Margherita Shopper ($595) – Its not your mom’s tote bag! This fantastic taupe bag has just enough hardware to give it a tough girl edge without overwhelming the sweetness.

As you can see by the selection above, each handbag is on point with the fall handbag trends. Some of the bags go as far as combining a couple trends together. What’s great about these bags is, they’re all classic styles that will look good not only for the fall but beyond. You can purchase these bags at Macys online or in stores.

You’ve seen a lot of fantastic high-end bags now let’s take a look at the more budget friendly handbags! It’s true, you don’t have to spend lots of money to score a great handbag. The key is to look for bags in classic, versatile styles, rich colours and sturdy materials.

The Fossil Talita Leather Hobo ($158) is a great hobo that will take you easily from work to play. The bag is available in camel brown (shown), green, purple and rust. The style is simple but versatile and the soft pleating on the leather is a nice touch.

This gorgeous purple B. Makowsky Kiev Hobo ($268) looks as if it should cost more but lucky for you it doesn’t! It’s made of supple leather and also comes in black, white, shitake (brown) and sage.

When you’re in the market for a new handbags, it’s best to go for leather or bags made in sturdy materials. You’ll want to get something that will look good for a long time and won’t fall apart on you. Pay attention to the details like stitching, fastening and linings as those are usually where most “cheap” bags tend to fail.
