NAVY LEATHER HANDBAGS / BLUE LEATHER HANDBAGS / LEATHER PURSES

The hot list for blue colours on the current fashion scene for leather handbags and accessories includes MIDNIGHT BLUE, TURQUOISE, LAGOON, DEEP COBALT, KLEIN BLUE, AMPARO BLUE, CORNFLOWER BLUE and INKY SAPPHIRE. With a new range out this season of ladylike handbags, smart totes and utilitarian cross-body bags, there’s plenty of choice to fit any lifestyle.

Every girl should have a dark blue or navy coloured leather handbag in her wardrobe, simply because these colours go with most outfits. Work the look with red and white for chic French style, pair with denim for a cool vibe or contrast with camel for the latest catwalk fashion statement. For inexpensive, yet good quality leather bags, you can’t go far wrong with the new range of navy shoulder bags and handbags by Gigi which, incidentally, come highly recommended by Real Handbag Shop customers.

Turquoise is a colour that flatters virtually all skin tones and hair shades which is why it retains its popularity and keeps getting re-invented in a new fashion colour year on year. Blends of teals, marine blues and sea greens all fit into this category. With its colourful lining, Lin & Leo’s Leather Baby Changing Bag in turquoise is one of the best holdall designs around. We took this bag down to Manchester University to see what the students thought about it. Most agreed it was a colour to die for and as it looks more like a fashion bag than a baby bag, suggested it could easily be used as a weekend holdall for trips back to see the parents (or boyfriend) as well as a stylish sports bag for the gym and day outings. The Real Handbag Shop has always maintained that these baby bags can still be used by mum once baby has outgrown it but the students had a different take on the situation; they saw the bag as being handy to use as a holdall first and foremost, until it was time for them to start a family of their own later on.
