Winter Handbags

Winter handbags, whether brightly colored or somber and serious, are a terrific way to let one’s personality shine. In fact, during the winter months, these accessory staples are a fantastic way to update your wardrobe in a flash!

Winter handbags come in all shapes and sizes. The myriad of styles and color options can be downright dizzying! To simplify your quest, consider the following:

Color is a great way to begin your search, because it lends direction to one’s wardrobe. This is a great place to think about your personality and this is especially true if you happen to be a bit gun-shy of wearing bright colors to begin with.

A red leather tote or a moss green satchel is the perfect way to play with splashes of color. Of course, the traditional colors of brown, grey and black will always be in style, but why not punch up your wardrobe a bit with a juicy orange laptop bag or a ravishing purple handbag? Don’t feel pressured to stick with what’s safe; exploring the world of color is a great way to draw attention to yourself.

To be sure, the different styles of handbags available today are extensive. Start your search by focusing on size and fabric. When it comes to:

• Size: Think about how much room you need on a day-to-day basis. Are you constantly shuttling papers back and forth between the office and home? Do you need to carry extra items, like an umbrella? All of these factors need to be taken into consideration before you purchase.

• Fabric: The fabric of many bags is often overlooked, but this can be especially important during months that are often cold, wet and rainy. In this sense, it may be more prudent to purchase a material that wicks away moisture, or at the very least, repels it.

A great place to start your winter handbag search is at Macy’s. The prices range from the higher end to the lower end, but the quality is great and the selection is spectacular. At Macy’s, try:

• Cole Hann "Village" Medium Work Tote: With its pebbled leather design, double handles with adjustable buckles and interior zip pocket, cell phone pocket and slip pocket, this bag comes in a green-turquoise color that is simply divine! Purchase this look for $222.18.

• Tommy Hilfiger "Bell Block Quilt" Tote: If you prefer a more understated look, and a deeper color, try the Bell Block Quilt from Tommy Hilfiger. Not only is it out-fitted in a waxy brown leather fabric, but it has an embossed quilt-style pattern and a logo plaque on the front of the bag. This look is at once elegant and utilitarian. You can expect to pay $158.00 for this bag.

• The SAK "Silverlake Tote": The Silverlake Tote is the happy medium between the Haan Village model and the Hilfiger number. First, the color of dove-grey is exceptionally stunning. Second, the braided double handles are extremely stylish and sturdy. Third? You can wear this bag on your shoulder or carry it via the handles. This versatile tote is available for $229.00.

Fossil also has an extensive collection of winter handbags that are just perfect for the cooler months. Among the collection are:

• Claudia Top Zip: This is a great winter handbag because it features a convenient top zip, is made from smooth leather and features silver-toned hardware. Several colors, including black, cognac and red are available for $128.00.

• Executive Tote: Sophisticated and elegant, the executive tote is made from the highest quality Italian leather, and contains multiple pockets for easy organization. Purchase this tote for $138.00.

Always on the forefront of fashion, Bloomindales’s handbags are legendary. There, you can find:

• Kate Spade’s "Lucca" Quilted Nylon Tote: Kate Spade makes amazingly chic, high-quality pieces, and this quilted tote is no exception! The quilted nylon look is done in an eye-catching purple shade, and the bag itself is accented with leather details. This brilliant handbag is available for $295.00.

• Foley & Corinna Women’s Leather City Tote: The amazing bag is made of lightweight, smooth leather that distresses with everyday wear. The best part about this bag is that the double top handles and removable strap allows you to fold the entire handbag in half. This beautiful look, however, doesn’t come cheap at $444.00.
