As you can probably tell, I have always been obsessed with handbags – not just premier designer bags, but novel styles from lesser known brands. I love to experiment with patterns, colors, and textures, so I never hesitate to splurge when I find that special piece. Spring is right around the corner so I couldn’t be more excited to try out some of the Spring 2019 handbag styles that will be everywhere soon! Read on to find out what they are.…
…
Mini Bags
I have to put this one first because I have such a weakness for mini handbags. Cuteness aside, mini bags instantly elevate any outfit and add that charming touch. From longer strap bags to compact clutches, expect to see a lot of them this year!

Oversized Bags
In the same way that mini bags are super cute and fun, oversized bags will also make an exciting statement this season. Billowy drawstring purses and bucket bags are definitely still in, which is amazing because they are insanely roomy and can store all your essentials plus more!

Double Bag
True handbag lovers will be excited for the double bag trend. Chanel’s double cross body bag has been an absolute hit – and I love the way it makes an entire look! To make it work, take two bags of completely different sizes (e.g. oversized with micro bag) and layer them together. Think an oversized tote with a smaller chain clutch.

Box Bags
Designers are playing with bold, angular, geometric shapes this year. Some favorites of mine in particular are the boxy, rectangular bags! They are simple, clean, and eye-catching. A sleek, minimalist ensemble with a cube shaped bag is going to be a very hot look this year. One of my favorite brands for this style is Mark Cross.

Chain Straps
Chain straps and chain embellishments on handbags continue to be very trendy. They’re one of my go-to pieces to wear with a chic, steely winter outfit. They’ll also transition really well into spring as the catwalks have already proven. I’m definitely going to get a few – since chain strapped bags can be easily dressed up or down. You can find one of these metallic must-haves for any occasion!

Faux Fur
As I’ve said before, faux fur is one of my favorite materials to wear in the winter, and seeing faux fur bags becoming trendy fills me with so much joy! Adding a fuzzy accessory incorporates an aesthetically pleasing contrast of textures to your outfit. Spring will feature softer colors and fur accents to take away that winter factor.

Reptilian
Snake and croc embossed prints will always be classic, but lately, they have been appearing in geometric compact forms as mini bags, clutches, and cylindrical mini duffle bags. Matching your reptilian print bag and shoes is a classy look. I also love the trend of imaginative, brightly colored reptile bags for an exciting pop of color to bring us into spring!
