You can tell spring is approaching by the floral prints and feminine silhouettes seen on the latest handbags.  Florals have been taken straight off the runway and incorporated into some of the prettiest styles I’ve seen in a while, especially designs from Dolce & Gabbana and Fendi.  Also, the drawstring bag has returned and is better than ever!

1. Miss Angie Shopper by Dolce & Gabbana
$1875

This bag is from the 2010 Cruise Collection.  The drawstring-cinched shopper features a beautiful rose print on cream leather, and is perfect for Sunday brunch.

2. Chef Rose Zucca Hobo by Fendi
$940

Replace your everyday bag with this Fendi hobo.  A fresh remake of one of Fendi’s signature bags, it features soft pleats and a rose print over the logo patterned fabric.

3. Forever Small Zip Top Bag by Fendi
$460

This bag is great for a fresh spring night out on the town.  The floral watercolor print over the subtle Fendi logo print will definitely turn heads, and can easily be mistaken for a piece of art.

4. ID Chain Tote by MICHAEL Michael Kors
$498

This tote shows just how versatile a drawstring bag can be with the use of hardware.  The focal point is the golden chain detail against the rich walnut leather.  Simply gorgeous.

5. Jagger Zipper Tote by Kooba
$598

Sleek and chic best describe the Kooba Jagger Zipper tote.  A simple style can have so much character with red leather, goldtone chain detail on the top handles, and zipper detaining on the front and sides.

6. Classic Q Drawstringy Leather Bag by MARC by Marc Jacobs
$528

This bag has a classic yet modern style with its round shape, pebbled leather and goldtone hardware.  It’s a great weekend bag and comes with a detachable shoulder strap.

Building your handbag collection should be fun.  You don’t have to always play it safe and buy “practical” bags.  If you add a print or new style at the start of each season, try mixing it up with a few of these items listed above
