Make a statement through your bag by choosing one of the best trending designer bags of the year. By simply adding this accessory to your wardrobe, you’ll be making a difference no matter what you pair it with.
Because designers make bags in all kinds of shapes and sizes, trends get even more specific by breaking them down into a particular shape, color, print, or size. Let’s take a look at the popular ones for 2013.
reptile skin – This is a trend that seems to come back again and again. No matter what the season, if you want to make a fashion statement for 2013, invest in a reptile skin bag. Some of the top designers offering this option include Giorgio Armani, Gucci and Elie Saab.
Bold patterns and prints – With spring here and summer just around the corner, this is a great look to sport as you celebrate the warm temperatures. Think outside the box when it comes to these patterns and prints that don’t just go with the typical plaid or floral print for something that really makes a statement. Some of the designers that really stand out when it comes to prints and patterns are Stella McCartney and Guy Laroche.
Mini purses or small clutches – While they won’t contain many articles, they will surely show that you’re on the right track when it comes to current trends. This bag can have a shoulder strap, a handle, or even a dainty little wrist strap. Carven and Diane Von Furstenberg are offering some really good options this year.
color blocking – Just as it’s popular for 2013 clothing, it’s also carrying over to bags and purses. Look for color blocks that use neutral colors so you can wear the bag with all your clothes. Michael Kors and Fendi are two designers that offer a selection of color block options.
Metal- Season after season, year after year, this is a trend that never seems to fade or show any signs of slowing down. Metallics work as neutrals and can be combined with almost any look. A metallic bag works just as well with your jeans and a T-shirt as it does with a classy black dress. While there are plenty of designers offering metallics like Bottega Veneta, a more reasonably priced option is Kate Spade.
handbags – Not only is this option trendy, but it’s incredibly popular thanks to the amount of space this bag gives you. As its name suggests, you can carry all kinds of items in this roomy bag. Mollie King is proving to be a popular designer in this area giving you the sophisticated, simple and classic “London look”. For a more contemporary look, the Victoria Beckham collection offers many options in a variety of colors.
When it comes to designer handbags, it is important to think of them as an investment, something that will act as your statement piece that will show that you are following current trends and styles and will also suit your lifestyle and personality.
