The Best New Bags for Fall.

by Susu | August 25, 2013

The NUMERO UNO trend in bags this fall will be easy to shop here in Charlotte, as it is a return to The Ladylike Bag.
Since we in the QC, and southerners in general, never quite abandon our ladylike looks, even when we are going goth or haute hippie, you will find chic & elegant hand helds and clutches in most stores.
Other trends to look for are Gray as a new Neutral, Studding, A Pop of Color, including color-blocking.   And The Clutch makes an even bigger appearance here in Charlotte this season, altho’ the national trend is more to a super-large, flat Portfolio style like the one in from the new Cheeky Bean in Morrison – which manages to hit almost all the trends for only $58.
