Hobo handbag

The two perennial favorite bag styles are the hobo and the tote. Women who are self-confessed bag-a-holics would know the difference between a tote and a hobo handbag. The main difference between the two styles is found in the handle. A hobo bag has its handle on the sides, whereas the tote bag has its handle or handles found at the center of the bag’s opening.

Although the tote is believed to be the classier one and is the top pick among ladies, the hobo is fast gaining in popularity. This is brought about by the needs of today’s women. The hobo is more functional and can be worn with just about anything. It also accommodates the many things women have to bring along with them from car keys to purses to cosmetics.

Clutch handbags

This year’s fashion forecast is bent on minimalism. This is in tune with the world’s economic situation. For glitzy events, clutch handbags are practical and stylish accessories you cannot be seen without. A simple sheath dress can be complemented by one of those clutches for that simple but elegant look.

Remember, simplicity is the key. Like always, simplicity is more of a mainstay in fashion than a fad. Even makeup is low-key and the clean, no-makeup look will be the buzz. Night events, however, will require you to dress up your eyes a little bit. Neutral colors will make a comeback as bright colors go out of style.

My friend is a bag-aholic. She has a whole collection of bags for every occasion. She has tote bags, hobo bags, and even evening handbags – you name it, and she definitely has it.  I guess that you can call her a bag collector!

Her whole closet is filled with bags. She’s also into designer brands. I understand her addiction though because I feel the same way about shoes and my husband feels that way about baseball cards.

Large Gucci Gold HandbagUltra Large Bronze bag by Gucci

 And for fashion’s big extras: Hats are hot, with the favorite — the fedora — shown in a sportier version with a knitted crown. Check out pouchy Vermeer-inspired wool berets (from Louis Vuitton). And embrace hoods, especially fur trimmed or in knit attached to nylon.

 Gloves: You’ll see bold, padded, elbow-length styles in a fistful of materials, from leather and suede to shear-ling and crocodile.

Belts: They are mannish and often studded. If deep-cinched corset shapes in patent leather or metal sound seductive, they look more like medieval torture.

 Bags: Newest is the soft and squishy leather envelope, which folds under the arm. But there are also stellar versions of the ultra-large bag in bronze leather, fur, and knit as well as Gucci’s how-haute-can-you-go duffel bag.

 Tights: This must-have accessory was turned out in ribbed knits, jewel colors, and graphic patterns. Knee-high socks offer an alternative.

This is because Italy has strict safety and pollution laws that allow for cows to be taken better care of, therefore producing better leather. Many countries including Sweden and Switzerland send their cow hides to Italy to go through the tanning process. Only hides that are tanned in Italy can be called “Italian leather.”

Because this type of leather is so soft and supple, Americans tend to prefer it to any other type of leather. The most popular products made of this material include Italian leather handbags, luggage and clothing. Many American companies special order leather tanned in Italy in order to label their products “Italian Leather.”
