Top Designer Fashion Handbags

Accessories have a big role to play for the spring and summer 2009 fashion look. When it comes to handbags, big is in for 2009. Handbags do come in all shapes and sizes, but this spring and summer, expect to see large tote designer handbags becoming all the rage. As with all things in this economy, recessionary values of functionality and re-usability are high on everyone’s minds. Eco-friendly bags that make use of natural materials will also be high on the list of must haves. Don’t put away those diamond studded handbags though, they sill have a defining spot in luxury handbags. If you want to leave the diamonds for your jewelry accessories, be sure to pick some that can compete with the hefty handbag designs. Think layered or large bracelets, sunglasses with diamond accents, and large hoop earrings. Recycling jewelry in new ways is also going to be very chic. Use a diamond pin on a summer hat, scarf, or even on your handbag to add a little sparkle anywhere you want it.

Along with the size, color is hot right now. You’ll see some bags in bright and unusual colors, which can be hard to match with outfits. Florals and prints are the look for this season’s designer clothing and go beautifully with bold, big, colorful handbags. Add an assortment of jewelry with bold stones or diamond accessories from jewelry to sunglasses, and you have the makings of a sparkling summer outfit that is going to hog the limelight wherever you go.

Functionality is also predominant in foot wear. You’ll see more comfort than style being promoted, with flat and strappy casual shoes and beach sandals being popular accessories to accent this somewhat tropic or casual living look. You’ll still see a lot of gemstone studded footwear from high heels to sandals that complete the look of earth-friendly, casual, yet visually exciting fashion.
