Orange is a colour that doesn’t get a lot of love. It’s not exactly  an easily matchable shade nor do designers create handbags in this shade. But when done right, it’s quite lovely.
This gorgeous orange handbag by Francesco Biasia is just the right size (20 1/2″W x 13″H x 6 3/4″D.) and shape for an every day bag. The Francesco Biasia Wrapped Handle Convertible Shopper is made with smooth, supple, slouchy leather. The leather on the handles is woven and go through the grommeted top.

Not all of us can drop $500 (or more!) on a new handbag especially during these hard economic times. You can find really wonderful handbags for not a lot of money on sale or whilst browsing. I did just that and rounded up six lovely handbags that are cute, colourful, versatile and best of all, they’re all under $250!

Now this is kind of interesting. I found it under the “whimsical” category at Nordstrom. So, today’s question is… does this fit with your particular style of the moment??

And in case you are wondering, it will hold a wallet, small book and water bottle. That should be easy on the shoulders!
