Hot Bags

This week, we’re going to take a look at a woman’s most prized possession- her handbag. In the past few years, bags have been all about excess; huge, floppy bags with flashy metallic hardware and stones have been all the rage. This season, bags are smaller, more structured, and much more practical. Fortunately, though, that doesn’t mean that they’re boring. In bright leathers or crazy prints, they’re still a great way to show some personality! As always, The Clothes Gallery carries a wide selection of bags to get you set for the season.

Mellie Bianco’s pleated patent bag is a really unique-looking piece, thanks to its top snap closure and great grey color. This is the perfect bag to liven up any ensemble, from jeans to suits. The small size makes it great for a few carrying just a few basics while shopping, sight-seeing, or shakin’ it.

If you’re looking for a larger bag, Big Buddha’s “Bonnie” bag is what you need. Available in orange, red, and green faux leather with brown trim and brass hardware, this bag ads a touch of color to your workday. It’s perfect for carrying your phone, wallet, lipstick, and keys, but still gives you room for a few larger items. Big Buddha also makes a few smaller styles, like the “Kristen” and the “Postman”.

Searching for something small and svelte? Nino Bossi’s clutch is for you. Sleek and elegant, it’s great for date-night essentials like a credit card and lipstick. Plus, you can slide it into a larger bag (like Nino Bossi’s shoulder bag) to hold it all together during the day. Available in four great colors, including mustard and sunset, it’s sure to add some pizzazz to your wardrobe.
