BAGS IN BLOOM

SPRING has a brand-new bag – and we’re all over it for Part 2 of our Spring Style Special. The cool color this season is white, but the new totes also come in a rainbow of shades not previously available. Get a shiny patent in a hot punchy shade and wear it with city-neutral clothes or pair it with another bright accent color.

And if you’re looking for a replacement black bag – and who isn’t? – there is no shortage of options. Designers have cut back on the heavy hardware, but there are still pockets aplenty. In other good news, oversize satchels have shrunk to pre-Mary-Kate-and-Ashley size. And while ladylike handbags are still going strong, the practical over-the-shoulder style – such as the hobo – is more our bag.
