Bold and Beautiful Handbags for Spring

Perlina Tatiana Hobo Teal - Leather Handbags

Yesterday, I met an old friend I've known since my first job after college. She lives in New Jersey, so I don’t see her very often. Once or twice a year, we meet in New York City to catch up on our respective lives over lunch and sometimes a play or shopping or both. One thing my friend and I have in common is our love of handbags. Not surprisingly, she was carrying a beautiful handbag yesterday. It was a B. Makowsky bag in a very pretty blue. Handbags in bold colors—red, pink, orange, bright green, blue, navy, yellow, forest green, rose, turquoise—is a trend this season. For me, the Perlina Tatiana Hobo Teal - Leather Handbags ($150.40) above epitomizes simple sophistication. However, there is tremendous variety in handbag styles, colors and prices for spring. No doubt, there is a beautiful bag to suit every over 50 woman. Below is just a small sample of the handbags available at eBags.

Sage isn't exactly a bold color. But I'm including this Perlina Jill Drawstring Sage - Leather Handbags just as a reminder that there are plenty of bags in more subtle shades--sage, light gray, white, sand, etc.--as well. It's available for $110.40

Lastly, I'm including this Kipling Egina Periwink - Cross Body because I have a small Kipling that I love in warmer weather. I find leather is often too hot for July and August, when I'm running around in the city or just going to the grocery store. I know it's hard to think about summer when the temperature is still hovering around freezing, but I just wanted to point out that there are lots of colorful cloth bags available, too. This Kipling style is $38.49.
