• Shoulder bags: one of the best inventions for young mothers with small babies, thanks to their practicality and ease, they will be very trendy this spring-summer season, with wide comfortable straps that make the handbag itself more stable on the shoulder, preventing back strain and pain. The weight in fact, is distributed in a more even way over all the shoulder and it is not concentrated just on a specific point. Shoulder bags are not only very comfortable to wear but they are also an excellent solution for dedicated shoppers because a shoulder bag, being worn on the shoulder or across the body, doesn’t occupy your hands, leaving you free to do your shopping easily.

• Metallic bags: they might look rather extravagant and over the top, but this spring-summer season will be mainly characterized by the return of metallic tonalities such as green, turquoise, gold and silver, very vivid and sometimes shocking colors whose main task is to make your days fantastic and exciting, and as dynamic as you are. Wearing such gorgeous bags, your style won’t go unnoticed and everybody will be captivated by your refined originality. Perfect both during the day and with an evening look, they will give you brightness and undisputed elegance.

• Handbags with buckles and pendants: if you are an original woman who loves being admired and appreciated for her extreme elegance, you can’t do without a luxury handbag decorated with gorgeous accessories such as round buckles or refined pendants made of pearls and shining rhinestones. Even the simplest style of bag, enriched by crystals and decorative buckles and scarf-pins will appear elegant and sensual, capturing the attention of everybody around you. Summer is a scintillating season, full of special occasions and enjoyable experiences: let it be even brighter, wearing your gorgeous decorated bag; the comfort of a high quality bag and the refinement of decorative accessories are perfect for a really stunning and sensual woman!!!

• Prestigious exotic bags: luxury handcrafted python, ostrich and crocodile handbags will be incredibly fashionable this spring-summer 2009, made in many innovative fashion colors, according to the most exciting shades proposed by the top fashion houses. exotic leather bags will give your look a further touch of prestige and refinement thanks to the excellent qualities of the leather itself, carefully hand worked and hand dyed by experienced craftsmen who pay attention to each detail, assuring you a product which is steeped in tradition and craftsmanship. Exotic leathers such as python, crocodile and ostrich skin, are very soft to the touch and, caressing them, your fingers will feel a pleasant sensation of harmony. Colors are rich, vivid and perfectly absorbed by the leathers themselves, but the same color has a different effect on each of them, due to the different qualities of the leather and its natural shapes and designs. Having a luxury exotic bag in your wardrobe is extremely important to denote your social status, giving you prestige and importance.

• Clutches: these small bags are the IN evening bag of 2009, thanks to the natural elegance which  has always distinguished this model. Clasped in the hand, like a pochette or worn over the shoulder by its gorgeous strap, very often made of fine gold or silver brass chains and enriched by pendants and shining pearls, it will always assure you success and refinement, whatever the occasion. Especially suitable as an evening bag, to go with a gorgeous evening dress, it will enhance your look and your natural beauty, making you look like a fresh star in the warm summer nights.

• Black handbags: never mind whether it’s summer or winter, warm or cold: black handbags are perfect in any season. While some colors are considered typical winter shades, black is always fashionable, in winter as in summer. Black is the color of elegance, of sensuality and refinement, the most popular shade for evening or special occasion dresses just because it enhances the elegance and the charm of a woman. The same goes for the handbag because a black handbag will go with any other color and style and, in addition, it gives the woman prestige and luxury.

• Large work bags: the classic large work bag, with both handles and a detachable strap is the innovative style promoted for this spring-summer 2009 by leather masters and designers, perfect in classic colors such as light brown, beige, bordeaux, dark green, shades which fit well with a summer climate but which make our work bag wearable not only in summer but in every season and with any style. Work bags have been proposed once more, especially to make the woman stylish and trendy for work too, even though this model can be worn perfectly well instead of your tote bag, when you go shopping or when you are out and need to have your personal things always by your side. The work bag can have many uses: choose yours!!!!

• Small bags: lovely jewels enriched with decorations and rhinestones, they are an explosion of light and elegance, whatever your look. They can make your summer extremely joyful and fun, if they are made in the most fashionable vivid tonalities such as purple, violet, red, turquoise, emerald green; and are even more gorgeous and seductive if made of exotic leather in the newest trendy metallic shades such as gold and silver. Despite their small size, their interior is perfectly divided into compartments and pockets, so that everything has its own space and the strap, made of leather or of brass chains, is very often detachable so that they can easily be transformed into luxury pochettes to display with pride.

• No bag at all: many designers agree with the decision to deprive the woman of her handbag, considering it a superfluous accessory, above all in this period of economic crisis. So, the woman, this spring-summer will also have the option of choosing not to wear her bag anymore and keeping all her things in the pockets of her trousers so that she can feel free and unburdened.

We absolutely don’t want to influence your tastes and your personal relationship with your handbag, but, in our opinion, depriving a woman of her handbag is something unnatural and senseless because it is like depriving her of a distinctive element of her femininity. The handbag, as we said before, is for a woman an intrinsic part of herself, and depriving her of it is like stripping away a part of her personality.
