2010 Handbag Trends

2010 is on the horizon and it’s time to look ahead at the trends of one of the most popular accessories for women, the handbag. So far 2010 clothing and shoes have been punctuated by economic concerns that have swept through the financial world and, as expected, this trend has swept through the handbag industry as well. The industry notes that the highest end bags are not moving the way they used to. People are still buying expensive bags but not with the regularity and they’re buying bags that are a step down from what they were purchasing before.

This means that a strange split has cropped up where a moderately expensive good quality handbag that can be used for years, like the Marc by Marc Jacobs Totally Turnlock Faridah Bag which is an understated, versatile and functional hobo, is one of the hot trends. This trend is all about practical quality.

On the other side of the coin, the very expensive, uber trendy handbag like the Jerome Dreyfuss Twee Mini Python Bag, a clutch which is packed with trendy details like the metallic fabric set in a snake skin pattern. This particular trend is about wealth and trends and showing off.

And finally, the inexpensive and very trendy handbags, like the Mad Imports Opal Straw Clutch. This clutch handbag is in a bright trendy color, features sewing details in the fabric and has a nature inspired touch, all current fads in handbags that probably won’t last long, making this a trendy 2010 handbag that will make its wearer look cutting edge but won’t break her budget.
