Colorful Stylish Tote Bags

From LoveToKnow Handbags

Unlike other traditional mainstays of summer, like sheer swimsuits and bikinis, colorful stylish tote bags are trends you can follow whole-heartedly without any consideration of embarrassment. Here’s how to make the best of this fabulous summer trend.

Colorful Stylish Tote Bags Are Fun

Handbags can be a stylish, fashionable and easy way to make an impact without saying a word. First, they are relatively inexpensive, so you don’t have to feel guilty about buying two, or even three. Second, especially for those who are shy about color, it gives the wearer the opportunity to go bold and dramatic. Most people find it much easier to carry a bright red bag than to, say, switch to bright red lipstick.

Advantages

Colorful stylish tote bags are extremely popular for the summer and create the same fashion trick traditional handbags do; they can significantly and successfully update your wardrobe. There are many reasons to switch to a canvas tote in the summer.

First, totes are light-weight. Unlike the traditional heavy weight bags of winter, like leather bags, a canvas bag or a straw handbag is relatively lighter and easier on the shoulders.

Totes are also practical and roomy. We all know that clutch purses offer little room, and that’s one of the reasons why colorful stylish tote bags offer such an advantage in the summertime. When you can throw your water bottle in a shoulder bag, you know you’ve got it made in the shade.

Color and style are also advantageous characteristics of a canvas handbag. Traditional bags are colorful and versatile, but often don’t offer the graphic prints available in a canvas bag. Additionally, because you can find a canvas bag with palm trees, grass and the like printed on them, your look can truly reflect that special summertime feeling.

What’s Available

Because of the wide selection available, you can go in a number of fashion directions as it pertains to your tote. Here are a few:

Monogrammed Bags

At the online store of the Parrot Canvas Company, you have the option of monogramming your tote. The bags come in different colors and in different prints, so there’s a wide selection to choose from.

This very company also offers several collections to choose from. Among them are:

  • Bay Street Collection Tote: These bags come in a variety of sizes and what makes them particularly stylish is their elegant simplicity. This bag is not busy in the least, save for one solid line of color. Available colors are Victoria Plum, Tea rose, Sea Grass, Holly Fern, and Chinese Wisteria. The largest bag in this collection costs about $25.00US.

  • Calypso-Topanga: If solid blocks of color are what you have in mind, then try this collection. The bold colors of light blue, light pink, dark pink, lime, purple, and black, are eye catching and very summery. You can expect to pay about $24.00US for one of these large canvas bags, and keep in mind that these bags can also be monogrammed.
  • Large Barrier Tote: With their charming seascape and beach inspired prints, these bags capture the true essence of summer. These are large totes, so you may find them perfect for that sunny day at the beach. You can expect to pay about $39.00US for these large totes.
  • Tiger Print: Moschino has become quite a popular label of late, both with their lines at Target and at Bloomingdale’s. Bloomingdale’s in particular offers the Moschino Chic Tiger-Printed Canvas Bag.

You may want to consider this bag for your nine-to-five workweek. It’s a large canvas bag with details like antiqued brass studs and attractive hardware that make it professional and stylish enough for work. And purchasing a bag like this during those hot summer months at the office means that you won’t suffer too much for having to dress professionally, even if you do have to leave the flip-flops at home!
