New Season – New Bag

Whether it’s to fit your new shades or match your new shoes, summer inevitably means a fresh bag hunt for Sydney women.

Top Tips for finding your Ultimate Summer Bag:

Zippers are the new buckles – From Givenchy to Witchery, extra zippers shielding hidden pockets, or simply for effect are the adornment of choice this summer.

Tote bags

Colour, colour, colour. Oh…and did we mention colour? Totes are patterned, with patchy, zig-zag and floral prints in bold contrasting colours this season. This spring is about a carefree gypsy-inspired look – take your cue from shop mannequins to mix and match patterns and colours in your outfit to work your bag to best effect.

A wide variety of fun totes are available from General Pants in Skygarden arcade.

Clutch

While still large in size, clutches have a hot new look this season, the fold over clutch-bag. Style meets logic and really goes to town with this concept. Bags are expandable, a sleek clutch that opens up into a handbag if need be. These are bold and fun – with best buys found at Ninewest and Mimco

Leather

Cream is the new classic leather bag. Where traditionally Spring denotes the time of moving from sombre black leather to tan and fabric bags, this season leather bags in white, off-white, ecru and cream are the perfect all occasion handbag option. Cream leather has class, yet the fresher lighter shade allows it to transition with ease from work wear to casual. You can find this look at Witchery and Oroton among other Pittstop stores.

Choosing cream is easy – keeping it clean will be your summer challenge!
