Trend: LUXURY HANDBAGS

Once in a while, budget is no object, and for this trend we will pretend that is precisely the case!

Ultimate Bag snobs will already be familiar with some of these hot Fall handbags (The Perry is just divine, by the way!) but at ShoppingTheTrend we pride ourselves in digging a little deeper.

Did you know that Smythson of Bond Street has followed up the fantastic Nancy debut with a new handbag for Fall? Say hello to the Maze - it's soft boxy shape strikes a perfect balance with your Jackie O-inspired slim-fitted tailoring. And oversized sunglasses.

We have also included Valentino's Flower Top Satchel, a deep wine red adormed with rosettes. Both the color & embellishment fits Fall trends - rich shades with a dark romantic flare.
