Handle Bags are on the list of the fashion trends to look for in 2019. Actually, anything with a vintage style is hot right now and handle bags are top on the list. Handle bags were popular in the 50’s and the early 60’s. I can picture women carrying them around shopping when I was a young child. From watching the old-time movies and television shows it was obvious that women took fashion seriously during the daytime back then. They wore dresses, hats, and matching gloves, and all carrying their handle bag purses.
A handle bag is a timeless bag
The difference now is that you will find handle bags in textured leathers, and bold colors, giving them a more modern-day look. Handle bags today also will have unique bamboo, metal plated, and wooden handles instead of the traditional leather handles from decades ago.
I particularly like handle bags and have a few that I have owned for a while. Another popular look for purses this year is acrylic bags. I’m not sure yet about those as you see everything inside and that means you must keep your purse organized. I do like the look of the clear acrylic bags, but it could be a lot of effort for me as I’d be a little self-conscious thinking all my personal belongings are exposed.
I’ve played it safe and the handle bag purses I own are both neutral colored. They originally came with detachable purse straps too which is a nice feature. I prefer handle bags for evening’s and not for everyday use. For everyday use I like something a little more convenient such as the cross-body bags.
Using a handle bag during daytime parties and events also lets you to have fun with the different styles and colors while you accessorize what you wear. Some of the newer colors for this spring/summer are yellow, green, and orange. I borrowed my daughter Brittany’s blush colored handle bag for the first picture we took and she’s sharing her review on the bag below. Cheers!
DeMellier Handle Bag Handbag Review
Hi! It’s Brittany here! My Mom borrowed my blush colored handle bag for her photo above and I wanted to share a little about the company. I first fell in love with this DeMellier Mini Venice bag when seeing it on Meghan Markel back in January of 2018. I love her classic cool girl style and wanted to find out more about the brand.
DeMelllier is a woman owned company based in London. What I really loved learning, was that for every bag purchased, DeMellier funds a set of vaccines and treatments for a child in need through their A Bag, A life charity initiative. Certainly, there is always much thought behind what Meghan wears and I am certain that she too found this very appealing.
The mini venice handle bag is a perfect size. You can easily fit your wallet, lipstick, phone and other small items inside. You can also remove the strap if you want to go from a cross-body to handle bag look. If you’re in the market for a new bag, I do recommend. You can follow this link to go directly to shop!
