When it comes to on-trend accessories, some think that spending money on a quality handbag will make any outfit look more expensive. Cross-body bags are as functional as they are chic, so they’re definitely worth the investment! This spring, it’s all about cobalt blue, we love a bag with a good pop of colour. It’s eye-catching and freshens up any outfit once it’s up on your arm.

More is more this season. Take a cue from the ultimate fashionista, Jackie Welling, to channel the maximalist trend with your statement bag. This trend is all about personal style and having fun. Instead of pairing handbags with understated looks, do the opposite with patterned separates or a mixture of prints! An eye-catching hue on structured, trendy handbags will make an equally stylish statement. Look for one in a summery colour like this one above, that way it looks modern no matter what you pair it with – plus this style of bag has a great texture, bonus.
