Fall’s Long Story, Handbag Trend Update
Dear WOW Divas,
Mark my words, the 1980s-style purse will be worn cross-body in fall 2008. Not quite a messenger, although that’s how you’ll see it classified on many sites, the medium-sized purse on an ultra-long leather strap looks effortless. It’s that “hello, I woke up and this ensemble just came to mind.” You can look for full leather straps or a leather-chain combo strap, which looks even more stylish and new to me. Here are three to consider:
1. Lauren Merkin $250 , available on shopbop.com
2. De GROOT $149 , available on BagTrends.com
3. MAXX New York $41 , available at QVC.com
For more fall trends, check out www.BagTrends.com in early August as my team and I bring you the best the season has to offer!
Happy Accessorizing!
