The Fashion Statement: It Bags are Back to Basic

Filed under: Handbags, The Fashion Statement

Toss your roomy totes, slim clutches and bohemian bags with hardware and fringe to the back of the closet.

The It bags for fall are small and basic; ladylike, almost to the point of prim; and minimalist. Square-shaped or rectangular, the handbags often have long shoulder straps and feature a very simple fold-over envelope style flap with a simple clasp. Color schemes are fairly basic, too, with most in solid brown and tan leather and black.

These bags resemble the "pocket books" you once plucked from your mother's or grandmother's closet to play dress-up. They are ultra understated and have a conservative '80s power suit feel. With long shoulder straps the bags rest at the hip.

Hermès has resurrected the Constance, a model with an H clasp that can be worn over the shoulder or messenger style.

Phoebe Philo introduced Celine's Classic Box, a small bag with compartments, closed by a square gold clasp. The fashion flock has been seen with the bag in black, brown and red leather.

Ralph Lauren has one in shiny brown croc with a gleaming round gold clasp. Fendi has also brought back a classic: the Logo Square bag emblazoned with Fs.

Fendi Leather Bag It

Filed under: Handbags

I was so excited when Fendi came out with their Two Toned Bag It Satchel. It was innovative, creative, and practical, yet remains fashion conscious. There was nothing like it out. I'm even more excited that more wearable colors and other versions have since come out. Available in a grained honey color leather, denim, or cognac and brown combination, it features gold hardware, top zipper closure, and most importantly, versatility. Wear it over your shoulder by using the adjustable straps or use the double handle to carry by hand. A classic bag that will remain beyond the trends. The honey version is priced at $1440, the denim version is a little less expensive at $1070, and the cognac and brown combination is available for $1340.
