Although the over-sized totes are still in, purses will have a more classic look this spring. Because of the current economic state, purses will be focused more on functionality and practicality. This emphasis on functionality sees the return of the shoulder bag. Expect to see many purses with the option of over-the-shoulder carrying or hand-held toting with many internal compartments and exterior pockets. Soft embellishments also seem to be popular, such as rouching, pleats and weaving of the exterior material.

When it comes to color this spring, anything goes. The trend for classic looks favors conservative tones, including black and dark shades of brown and gray. But you don’t need to play it safe; bold sweet and sour candy shades, delicate pastels, earthy Aztec and jewel tones, and the vintage hues of the 70s are all set to make an appearance this spring.

Here are a few purses we got in recently from Melie Bianco:

Hobo With Woven Metallic Trim And Rouched Pocket

Ribbon Satchel With Studs

Multi Woven Clutch (one of 3 different color themes)

Stone Clutch
