Get Your Hands On These Handbags For Fall
You can never have too many handbags or purses. There truly is a bag for every occasion, every mood and of course every outfit. So naturally as the seasons change so does the rotation of purses we choose for work, play and everything in between. When we think of purses for autumn and winter we think jewel tones, luxurious leather and sensual suede. These are the standards of which we abide by when we’re updating our arsenal of handbags.
This season we’re onto the trend of statement handbags. Purses and clutches and totes that tell a story. Bags that say something not only about fashion but about us and our personality. Quirky and unusual shapes and silhouettes, extra long straps and textures and patterns galore are what we’re all about this fall and winter season when it comes to bags. These statement bags aren’t just here for the fashion moment but they’re bags that we’ll cherish for years to come and won’t ever be out of style.
Mark Cross has some amazing black leather bags this fall. This Scarf Mini Bag was literally inspired by the silhouette and shape of a scarf. Its petite shape and tie end detailing makes this mini bag a great statement purse for fall without the big exclamation point. It’s tiny, it’s chic and it’s in our handbag rotation this winter.
Another bag from Mark Cross that we adore is this Madeline Satchel. We’re using this jet black leather satchel for all of our business, career and work related affairs. It’s interior is complete with ample storage for laptop, phone and any documents and notebooks you may need to store. Its classic shape and streamlined silhouette is a sophisticated choice for the fashionable working woman.
Love your Madeleine Satchel but want the play minus the work? Try the Madeleine Lady Mini. It’s a perfect trade for the Madeleine Satchel. Its patent leather material and shrunken size is perfect for your phone, lipstick and credit card, all of the necessities you need for a fun night out after work.
Exaggerated straps seem to be a staple for this autumn’s handbag scene and we’ve got a few picked favorites for this category. This buckle bag from Altuzarra is just what we want to fulfill all of our bohemian fashion desires. The Play Crossbody Bag is a black leather and brown suede crossbody bag with an extra long black leather strap and buckle detailing along the bottom and sides of the bag. This soft hobo bag is perfect to grab in a hurry and stash any necessities for the day. Pair this with your favorite pair of denim and brown suede boots and you’ve got yourself a look.
On a much more modern and minimalist note, this Medea Short Long Strap Latex bag has a completely different vibe than our previously mentioned friend. This bag was designed to resemble a paper shopping bag but in our opinion this purse is much more luxe. We’re really into these super thin and sleek lines and the minimal shape. Featured in black and a bright neon yellow, the standout feature of this bag is its extra long and ultra skinny latex straps. Do we think this is a functional bag for grocery shopping? No. Is it fulfilling our fashion needs? Yes.
Just like our Madeleine Satchel and Madeleine Mini, Medea has yet another mini to other normal sized shopping satchel. The Medea Belt Wallet is for the woman whose bag is just never tiny enough, but we love that this bag keeps those exaggerated straps nice and long with a teeny, tiny envelope shaped wallet at the end. This bag is ideal for the woman who likes to travel light, (really light) with only her credit card, identification and maybe some cash, because let’s be honest you’re not fitting much else in this incredibly small but extremely chic bag.
Statement bags don’t have to be extreme and they don’t have to be overstated either. These bags are great for fall and the devil is in the details. With buckles, luxurious leather and exaggerated buckles and sizes, these bags are sure to elevate any outfit and there’s one for every mood, occasion and function. Business, work or play, there’s a bag for you this autumn. Which style are you choosing?
