Fresh Fall Print! Sakroots Artist Circle Purple Bambu

Bold, colorful prints are a big trend in handbags this fall. We love the bright, quirky designs from the Sakroots Artist Circle collection. From the rich blue and orange of the Lagoon True Love print to the pale background with bursts of yellow and red of Natural Peace, they evoke “the artist, musician and nature lover in all of us.”

San Francisco muralist Jetro Martinez based the Fall 2012 bambu print on the inspiring story of bamboo growth. A mother plant grows underground, has a surprising growth spurt in its fourth year and creates offshoots that multiply. It’s also flexible and agile enough to thrive even after storms.

The fall palette combines deep purple with contrasting pops of citrine and tangerine. Crochet trim and contrast stitching add a unique, hand-crafted feel to each piece. Show your artistic sensibility and stand out in a sea of dark fall bags with this playful print!

Trend Alert: Back to Vintage

Show your style savvy with a fun, unique retro-inspired bag. A fashion-forward trip backward, these styles highlight the best of trends from the days of 8-tracks and bell-bottoms. Not sure what to look for in vintage? We’ve put together a short-list of this fashion’s best features.

Hardware Hues: For that perfectly time-weathered look, these pieces often sport deliberately tarnished or antiqued silvertone or brasstone zippers, chains and studs. Check out the UGG Australia Brooklyn Small Cross-Body Bag for hardware you’d expect to see on that bag you scored from the back room of a vintage boutique.

Western Designs: A favored style of the ‘60s and ‘70s, Western-inspired details like those of the Frye Vintage Stud Hobo were a flower-child’s staples, with sweeping boot-like patterns and metal studs that would feel right at home on the ranch yet perfectly set off your casual look.

Leather Flourishes Woven leather panels (we love them on the Cole Haan Victoria Tote), playful tassels and decorative embossing were standbys of their time and a standout feature with nostalgic flair.

Earthy Tones: Colors that remind you of shag-carpeting and laminate-topped tables make for fresh, distinctive fabrics and leathers, with names like rust, chocolate, avocado and the butterscotch version of one of our favorites, the Fossil Vintage Revival Convertible Cross-Body Bag.

Stalwart Silhouettes: Vintage works especially well with shapes like the Fossil Key-Per Train Case that were popular when a soda cost 5 cents, like boxy cross-body bags, train or cosmetics cases and adorable little kiss-lock coin purses.
