BAG IT: Bags this most recent season are expected to have a lot of stitch details. Huge and oversized handbags are the hottest item this season. But remember to keep it small for the evening. The inclination this season will veer towards accessories on the handbag, like plaited handles, plaited areas etc.

Interesting accessories are expected in the handbag this season. These may include key rings and metallic buckles. Pockets in the bag, leather appliqus and charms that dangle are likely to be part of the new handbag style scene.

Crystal beads, gold tone studs and even leather bows may add that extra special. It is likely that decorative trimmings on the bags will be exceptionally popular. Another tendency may be to have headscarves threaded through the eyelets of the bag. Even a gold chain may be slotted to compose a special look. The trend in handles may include chains in the leather or they may be made exclusively of chain.

STYLES GALORE: Printed bags are very much in vogue and so is the new deeper taller bag shape and deep tote styles. The ingredients of the bag may be leather or suede, which may give the impression as washed out and faded. It may be tie-dyed or frilled or even tool impressed.

The handbag with a slouch is also set to make an influence this season. Hardware on bags is very much in, as is ironmongery. It is the large, oversized slouch bag, which will round off the fashion look whispering.
