Handbag trends for spring 2008

Multicolor handbags

Here are four handbag trends for spring 2008. More to come on the way!

Multicolor handbags: after bold and glossy uni-colors, designers came up with a rich palette and created striking colorful combinations.

Multicolor handbags trend Dolce&Gabbana, Emilio Pucci, Phillip Lim and Valentino

Fringes are still a strong trend this season, though they seem more tempered in shape and in color.

Fringed handbags trend: fringed handbags trend Derek Lam, Marni and Roberto Cavalli Bold chain detailing: many predicted this style would go out of fashion even since last season. But here there are again, the perfect bags for the fearsome fashionista. Chain strap handbags trend Michael Kors, Missoni and Viktor&Rolf

Retro styles: structured, oversized handbags with small round handles inspired by 60s and 70s fashion.

Small handles trend Bottega Veneta, Dolce&Gabbana and Versace
