Accessorising

Women just love accessories. Whether its shoes, jewellery or handbags, we just can’t get enough of them. In fact, we may be the most orderly people most of the time, but when it comes to accessories, we are a breed or hoarders. A bag is an essential addition to any outfit. Men always find it hilarious, if a little strange, women always need a bag, and in this bag we seem to have all kinds of things necessary for the most unlikely of situations; our bags are a bit like the bag or all bags, owned by none other than Mary Poppins.

But our bags are like our comfort blankets; we need them to finish off any outfit. They add instant style and turn a bunch of clothes into a complete ‘look’. So what looks do you have to choose from to dress up your bag this summer?

There are several key trends to nail this summer and each have various bags to accompany them. So, here is rundown of three of the key summer trends and the best handbags to go with your glad rags.

The shift dress never really goes out of fashion and this summer is no exception. The dress is back with a bang. Fabrics and floral; you can choose between bold or delicate, nude or bright. There is a huge choice in fits too. For a more casual daytime look, go for a less structured cut with capped sleeves; think an oversized t-shirt with slight definition around the waist. You can accessories this with a simple clutch for the evening or a buckled or locked tote for the daytime. You can choose once again between nude hues, or bold, bright, striking colours.

Dress number two is the Peter Pan collared tea-dress. Think of cute, girly and feminine shapes, light cotton fabrics and retro colours or mustard, red and orange and choose either a small floral motif or polka dots. This is the perfect day dress and you can choose between sleeveless or sleeved styles depending on the temperature and occasion. Accessorise with an oversize satchel with fringing and buckle details.

Finally, dress number three is the maxi dress. This is both a cool casual dress and an evening glam offering. You can choose to wear it with an over-the-body chain bag by day or mini-strap clutch bag by night.

Why Eco Handbags

We understand that your handbag is the quintessential component of an outfit. It is the subtle differentiator between those in the fashion-know and those in the fashion-no.

We promote eco-friendly handbags made from repurposed and sustainable materials and are produced in fair trade, sweatshop-free environments. We hope to inspire more people to become environmentally friendly and think differently about the things they buy, how they are made, where they come from, and vote for a more sustainable world.
