HIP Trend Alert





Melie Bianco Hobo w/ Chain Detail in Beige ($97)


Every season Handbag trends come and go and come back around again. This season white is hot! White and neutral handbags are one of the most popular trends for spring 2010. If you only get one handbag this spring go for one in ivory, white, cream, nude or beige. Look for these colors in a satchel or slouchy hobo style like the ones from Melie Bianco shown in the pictures above.

Detail is an essential feature to look for while on your white/neutral handbag search this season. Texture is a predominant feature for spring. Look for braided handles, woven leather, ruching detail and pleats. Tassels and fringe are also trendy trimmings to watch out for this year. If you are looking for more edge you should try metallic hardware like studs, chains, exposed zippers, buckles and other embellishments.
