After years of vying for the most letters, colors, and bling possible on a hand bag, this year designers have been returning to a more basic look (thank goodness!!!) While the iconic Louis Vuitton will always reine supreme with the very small LV logo, other handbag brands had been playing off of this concept, however without the class. This season, most have returned to their basics: great leather, more neutral colors, and small hardware details. This is a great time to buy a high quality leather bag because it is going to be a classic color and shape that will be stylish for years to come. So if you were biten by the logo/color wars of the past do not fear, pick up a new basic bag for everyday use to ring in the new year!
Check out two examples: An everyday basic from JCrew
A fun pop of color, while still a great basic, from Yve Saint Laurent
