Valentines Day is just around the corner! The spicy ruby red colored Lovcat Heart Secure Metallic Clutch makes a fabulous Valentines Day gift. The clutch is a fun way to say “I Love You” … whether you “say it” to someone else or to yourself The genuine leather Lovcat clutch has a sassy, sleek look that adds a new, refreshing hue among this season’s metallic handbags. The Rubino color (the hue is just like a ruby gemstone) is fun for Valentines Day and even has a multiplying signature Lovcat heart pattern embossed on the leather! What I really love about the color and finish of this metallic leather is that it is somewhat subtle, giving it enough classic appeal to make it a surefire fashion accessory for years to come.

Trista Sutter of “The Bachelorette” recently launched her own  her line of eco-concious Diaper Bags.   The diaper bag line is called “Trista Baby” and is already getting tons of press.  What makes these diaper bags different than any other is that they are Eco-Concious, made in the USA, and display one-of-a-kind exclusive prints.

What I love about these diaper bags is that they can go well beyond motherhood.  These bags are just as fashionable as they are functional.  Trista Baby states that they are … “committed to bringing amazingly fashionable, incredibly functional and undeniably original solutions to the stylish mom, all while doing our part to make Mother Nature proud”.

Here are just a few of the positive testimonials:

“I love this bag. I can use it for anything & I can load it full of baby needs & know it can handle everything I put in it. I wish there was a smaller size for my own personal use! And, it looks great with anything!!”                                                                                                                                                                       

“Just got this bag today (teal/licorice tulip) and it is absolutely beautiful. Very well made (in the USA–another plus!) This bag will definitely last. I can’t wait to use this once baby arrives. Thank you Trista!”

Francesco Biasia’s Ruby Double Handle Tote would be a great addition to anyone’s handbag collection. There are a few reasons in-particular why I think this bag(and these trends) will be a success. First of all, with the Biasia name on a bag, it represents quality in all aspects. Just the fact that it is from a high quality label will help sell this bag. I know that I’ve said this before, but textures are huge this Spring. The fact that there is a combination of two textures (suede and patent leather) also makes this bag appealing. Not only can you carry this bag with it’s small double handles, but you can also wear it on your shoulder with the additional shoulder strap. Versatility, especially with large totes like this one is key. You want to be able to carry a bag like this on your shoulder if it gets heavy(which it will if you fill it up). This Spring when you are shopping for a new handbag keep these things in mind! If you are going to buy designer it is a lot easier to find something fashionable, but if you are on a budget you have to be more particular in what you are looking for. Happy Shopping!

First, I must apologize for this sports-related and very non-fashionista post as many Handbags.com visitors would likely rather hear about designers spring collections than my fanhood - but - on the chance that our readers are avid sports fans like myself, here we go! (It’s Super Bowl week! How could I resist!) Being born and raised in Massachusetts, you have no choice but to enthusiastically be a rabid Red Sox and Patriots fan, living and dying with every pitch or yard (and screaming at the TV loud enough to scare my fiance). Hate them or love them, if you were born in New York or are from Wisconsin or Chicago or any other big league city, you can appreciate the need to have your team’s gear. Until Littlearth came along, female fans had nowhere to turn for an all-star handbag, but thankfully we now have these! There are a variety of types for each of the 32 NFL teams. Made from license plates, not only will they keep your belongings safe, but come in handy if you need to swat off a rowdy opposing fan at a bar. Some even come with Swarovski Crystals if you’re looking for that extra bling to match your teams championship ring(s).

What’s new in handbags??? Earth products! Being conscious about the environment and how we can make an impact is very important and trendy this up-coming spring season. One way to be a part of this movement…..invest in a recycled product or one that uses sustainable products…. A new brand I came across this month…Bamboo 54….A little info… Bamboo and natural sustainable materials intended by mother nature conserves the tropical forests, stimulates healthy agriculture, and nurtures sustainable life. Eco-friendly materials are incorporated in all of Bamboo 54 products in some form or another. At Bamboo54, they know and cherish that our environment is both beautiful and important. There is only one earth! Bamboo54..saving the world in style! I love their products and you will also….Here’s a little glimpse!

Gabs & Gabs Studio has a brand new bag; the wool and leather convertible! What I like about this bag is that it’s unique, and different from a lot of the bags that I am seeing right now. On one side is patent leather, and on the other side is wool. There is also a detachable shoulder strap that comes with the bag. Just in case you don’t like yellow, there are so many other colors to choose from! Three sizes, multiple colors; you have to check these bags out. I’m sure that you are going to find something that you like!
