Best New Season Handbags
By Nell Rose
Handbags Tote Bags and all sorts of Bags!
With the new season upon us our minds turn to the new styles of clothing bags and accessories. Will it be red this year? Or maybe dark blue. And of course one of the most important new buys will be either a handbag or purse.
Most women tend to have at least a few to hand but like anything else, handbags go out of fashion or the colors don’t match our ensemble. Some women prefer clutch bags which go with almost anything, and others prefer the more conventional shoulder bags.
These days you don’t have to spend out loads of cash for a really great looking holdall or handbag. Not everybody can afford designer wear and luckily you don’t have too. The old joke is that women tend to put everything in their shoulder bags, from make-up to the kitchen sink!
But the truth is we mainly use it for all our bits and bobs, including a matching purse or wallet. The advantage of buy a cheaper bag is that you can mix and match. Why buy one when you can buy six? Well, maybe not that many, but you get the idea!
I prefer a nice black leather purse, but when I go out, I like to change it for anything that fits my mood. So if you don’t know which one to choose, then check out the selection below.
I am sure you will find one that suits you, and don’t forget, the best buys are the ones that you know will match your wardrobe.

Clutch Bags
You know how it is, you go into a shop and ask for a selection of handbags. The assistant then asks, would you like a Clutch bag, Tote, or Cross body? If you are anything like me, you just stare back with a blank look on your face! So here's a few pointers to let you know whats what.
You can't go wrong with a Clutch bag. This is a must for all the parties that you will be invited to. Nobody wants to carry a large shoulder bag for an evening out. There are a lovely variety of colors and materials to choose from.
La Regal is made from pleated fabric, and is just the right size for all the things you need to carry. These are fantastic little bags, because if you get tired of carrying them around, inside you will find an attachable shoulder strap that you can just clip on.
The Kenneth Cole bag is made from faux leather, which will always match with that little black dress that we women always end up wearing! After spending hours trying on numerous dresses, we decide, in our wisdom that actually our favorite is, well, our favorite. And black is so Chic, if you get something dripped, dropped or splashed on your black Clutch bag, a quick rinse under the tap, and two minutes under the drier will be all it takes to make it look new again.
Tote Bags
Tote bags are carry by hand, well, bags. And I love this Pink Chic one. I must admit that ever so often I do get a bit girly and go completely out of character. This one has loads of pockets for your every day needs such as make-up, cell phone and all the important things that we as women need every day. Like money for instance!
Seriously, there's nothing worse than fiddling around at the bottom of your bag trying to find change, it can take ages. That's why this is great because it has zips, pockets and just about anything else. And, if you get fed up of carrying it by hand, then you can convert it into a shoulder bag with the extra detachable strap. Sorted! But if your taste is more conventional then there is always the darker bags that go with everything.

Crossbody Handbags
Crossbody handbags or long strap bags are the most popular. These are the ones that most people grab on their way out of the door. The reason is that you can sling it across your shoulders, and carry tons of other things at the same time. And the great thing about the featured bags is that they are really good quality. The Michael Kors Charlton is real genuine luxurious leather, and of course all the little pockets for you essentials.
So as you can see, there are all sorts of bags, for different occasions. I tend to use mine up until it virtually falls to pieces! That's exactly what's happened to mine today. So I have searched the house out for my collection of 'spares' and decided that actually, I really do have a very good reason to buy myself a new handbag! How cool is that? Any excuse she says!

Hi, tangoshoes, thanks for being so quick, my bag fell to pieces today, and now I am looking around for another one, or two, or maybe three! lol
Nice hub! I love purses and purse shopping. Thanks for a hub that keeps us current and up to the minute on handbags!
Hi, suzette, its funny really because I am not one normally for handbags, but this year I have got the urge to buy quite a few! well, at least two new ones, but it is the party season! lol thanks again, nell
Purse shopping! Almost as dangerous as shoe shopping. Love it!
Nell, now you definitely caught my attention with this hub! Love your ideas - and I am in love with tote bags! My husband always calls it my luggage because my theory is the bigger the better ;) Wonderful hub, you come up with such beautiful hubs!
Either it's the season for handbags or (as usual) we're on the same wavelength! Great Hub Nell. Right now I'm chucking out the old beloved but beyond repair bags, making room for some cool new ones. Cheers
Hi, steph, funnily enough I am not one for shoes, just boots bags and leather jackets! lol I have about ten each! thanks for reading, cheers nell
Hi, Pinkchick, thanks! I seem to be into pink bags at the moment, I am getting myself worried! ha ha its usually black, black, and more black!
Hi, Green Lotus, they say right about what you know, well, my bag fell to pieces! lol thanks again nell
Nell, I must admit that i have a weakness for handbags and shoes. I don't like the clutch bags, but i love the cross body bags. Thank's for showing the new trend. Last year i bought a brown and black bag for winter that worked really well since i usually wear brown or black shoes or boots, i love boots too. Thanks.. Cheers
None of these bags will probably end up on my arm, lol, but they are gorgeous! I especially like the silverish crossbody handbag. No..wait the one in that first pic with the lady holding it. It is killer sexy. Yes, that one! Ok, just maybe I will break down and order that one.
Hi, Ruby, I love boots! I have about two pairs of shoes and 20 pairs of boots! lol now its finding the bag to match! thanks as always, nell
Hi, beth, I used to just use my leather jacket pockets to carry my stuff around, but it got so heavy I ended up with a handbag! lol so I know what you mean! thanks again nell

Hi, Keeley, thanks I love my handbags! lol
Really nice handbags. I will look for the latest and the most affordable bargains after reading your interesting handbag hub. Great hub.
Amazing collection Nell Rose... I Love handbags..
Very nice explanation of the handbag situation. I am not a handbag person, I have one for spring/summer and one for fall/winter both by Ameribag but my daughter has almost as many handbags as I have shoes! Loved the hub and voted up and interesting.
Hi, Cheryl, Shaun and Tillsontitan, I do love my handbags, not one for shoes though, but mine has fallen to pieces so I have to buy another one, or two! thanks so much for reading, cheers nell
LOVE this hub. But I'm a huge fan of purses and handbags galore. My next handbag is going to be a hobo bag with fringe...like something Native American. :) Voted up and awesome, as always Nell. Have a blessed Samhain.
Hi, kitty, I have one of those at the moment! lol in fact I have two, but one fell to pieces! that's what started this off, well to be honest, two fell to pieces, one was black leather and the other was the tassle one, so I found my old one out which is similar! lol great minds think alike! happy Samhain!
Love that bag on the picture.
Very nice, we women always love handbags. I always tend to buy big handbags and end up putting everything in it including the kitchen sink as you mentioned. My friends and family always tease me about it. Maybe I'll treat myself to a smaller handbag this spring so that I'll be forced to put less items in it.
I was looking at different hubs and my wife eagles eyes manage to see this. Does handbag really a girl magnet. she like the Tote bags :). Thanks for sharing
Forget the hangbags the legs look great. Like the way you have arranged this hub very artistic...
Thanks Anamika, glad you liked it! cheers nell
Hi, creative, I am terrible when it comes to bags, I put so much in it I can never find my keys! haha! thanks for reading, cheers nell
Hi, cebutouristspot, yes handbags, shoes and jewelry are a girls best friend! haha! thanks!
Haha! thanks barry! I only shared this one myself because I couldn't find it when I was trying to link it to something, so I am glad you appreciate the legs! hee hee!
Nell! My intent is write an etiquette hub today. Yet, sharing this hub and reading about 'chokers' my motor is revving. I may take someone shopping later today, which is my day off. Primed with all the ideas you have inspired I'm gon'na think about it over lunch. Nicely written hub offering to me an understanding of handbags, there differences, and seeing their meaning symbolically.
Great hub. I love having a big, organized bag. I say, organized purse, organized brain lol.
Oh! You found my weakness, bags and shoes. The video was great and I dearly love that cow print bag, too cute! Thanks for reminding me the new season is coming. Now I feel the need to get my shopping on.
Hi, tsmog, haha! you always make me laugh! keep your motor on simmer or else you may be exhausted before dinner! good luck with finding a handbag or a choker!
Hi, shea, my hand bag seems to be getting bigger, too much stuff inside that doesn't fit into the other one! lol! thanks again, neell
Hi, poet, I tend to be more bags and boots! lol! I have at least 20 bags, and even more boots, shoes don't get a look in! thanks again, nell
Handbags that is being made in Italy is one of the best.
Hi, Create, thanks for reading, cheers nell
Great hub --as always! I really get that "blank look on [your] face;" I can definitely relate. Fewer bags than boots, but now I know why! I keep searching for the "perfect" bag instead of those that match or for certain occasions. I have ALL my bases covered as to right occasions, but you drove home I'm never gonna find the "perfect" bag. Guess that's why I always buy jeans (even tight) w/pockets--gloss, phone, ID, plastic--I go. Totes for shopping! And, yes, CreateS, Italian then Brazilian--oh yeah!
Hi, Teylina, sounds good to me! lol! I have actually been given two pairs, yes two! of boots! yummy! and if that wasn't good enough, my friend then handed over a slurpilicious black shiny huge bag too! haha! handbag heaven! thanks for reading, cheers nell
Got any friends in a size 6 (to 7 in boots) from Italy or Brazil, if that's not your size? I'll pay the shipping! You lucky dog, you! Friends like that are great!
Hi, Teylina, lol! no sorry, but if I find any I will let you know! I am lucky though she is a good friend, its mainly her daughter too who gets through the boots and bags quickly, so wants to pass them onto me, who happens to have just the right size feet! haha!
Sounds like my daughter--oh, well, I can dream
Haha! thanks Teylina.
