Fashionable Purses - the Bigger the Better
Published: 2007-01-03Purses are starting to become very important in the feminine wardrobe every new season. Once upon a time, purses were considered to be nothing more than accessories, but now they are becoming almost the dominant part of the total look. And since this season is full of luxury and glamour, the same concepts can be applied to the purses.
Big Purses
When you choose a purse, you have to consider certain details. Purses are now considered to be a symbol of status of a woman among its equals. In other cases, we simply collect them (some are so beautiful that it is impossible to stop buying them) and they become our pride, part of our image and sometimes we cannot study or work without them.
This season size does matter. According to the fashion gurus, there is no such thing as a big purse. You can’t go wrong with a really big one.
Big purses consist of geometric forms - squared or quadrangular. (no matter if it’s vertical or horizontal)
The every day purse needs to be comfortable and spacious. This season purses come with two large medium handles, so we can carry them in our hands or hanging from our shoulder. You have the option to use a large strap or ultra large.
Material and Color
The next step to consider is the material of the purse. The latest are purses made of sheepskin. They are not very practical and rarely survive more than one season. But they are very comfortable, light, soft and provide you with an incredible style. They match any accessories made of denim, tweed, wool and any type of tissue. But if you are going out at night, this is not an option.
As usual, purses made of reptile skin continue to be universal - this season is not the exception. Using this material, the designers are able to create something very large, where you can fit 11 pounds of many things that are needed in our complicated woman life, or something so small and beautiful, like small purses with gold details for a night out.
However, when you choose a color, you have to consider the way it is going to be used. If you are using it for fun, you are allowed to use any color - strong red from Celine, oranges from DSSquared2, pinks from Emilio Pucci, violets from Gucci. But if you want to use it to go to the office or meetings, it is best to go for something more austere - black, brown and dark gray, or red wine.
In any case, the black purse is universal. You will always be right with a black purse, no matter the size, shape or material. Besides, this color produces a perfect combination with studs, chains and brooches, which are commonly used this season.
Conclusion
If you think that this is too much for you, just take a look at the purses made of skin pieces - they look like a cuddly toy from our childhood. It is like carrying your favorite cuddly toy, but you are able to put away your cell phone, small notebook and other things inside of it. These purses are made of expensive skins, or they can be more democratic by using different combinations of skin, denim and tweed.
Finally, the most glamorous. If the minimalist style is not your favorite, don’t be afraid of searching for a barocco style, since luxury is back this season. In fact, it is so strong that even purses used in offices come decorated with crystals, lace, embroidered and details in gold.
