This is a great straw bag for the summer! We’ve seen a lot of clutches similar to this, but now the big bags are coming out. This is the Santorini Large Shopper from Michael Kors. You have seen a lot of leather with straw this season, and you will be seeing a lot more! Clutches, shoulder bags, satchels; you name it, it’s coming!

We all love the classic elegance of Kate Spade Handbags! They are the perfect accessory, that will last a lifetime and continue to be a timeless piece!

Every Spring Kate Spade comes out with a straw collection that is casual yet screams modern fashionista! This Spring is no different and the straw looks amazing!

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!

We all may be used to seeing straw and rattan used only in picnic baskets, but start getting used to seeing these handbags on shoulders and in hands everywhere this spring!Everyone is catching onto this trend and coming out with different variations. Here are just a few: Rafe Koh Samui Wendy Rattan Clutch-With this clutch you are seeing another upcoming trend for Spring; matching a straw handbag (or in this case a clutch) with a contrasting fabric or leather accent. There will be a lot of metallic and patent leather that you will see with these straw/rattan bags. Here is another similar style from Kate Spade; the Tisbury Minu Clutch. Once again, a simple straw clutch paired with metallic leather accents. Now, lets look at some different silhouettes that we’ll be seeing in the upcoming months: This is a slightly different variation: the same characteristics, but in a satchel silhouette. This is the Rattan and Leather Satchel from Straw Studios. They have incorporated the contrasting metallic leather accents into the straps, as well as on various different places on the actual handbag.

 

 

Monsac has also caught onto this upcoming trend with this Nantucket Horizontal Shoulder Bag.The bright color and outside pocket really make this bag stand out from the others.

I know, it really isn’t even officially winter and I am already thining about Spring… Spring Trends that is.  Straw Handbags and wicker are definately going to be hot again in Spring 08, and this Kate Spade Tisbury Minu Clutch is “the” spring bag to represent the trend perfectly.  Did I mention it is trimmed in Metallic too!
