Top 10 Hottest Handbags for 2010

2011 is here, ladies! And, of course, we all want to know what THE look for spring and fall bags is going to be. Here is our list of some of the most amazing new designer handbags that are sure to be in high demand this year!

10) Gucci G Wave Large Leather Tote.
Made in a rich nutmeg color, this fabulous everyday bag that is sure to be a hit. The bag has a braided strap and a giant 'G' logo on the front with the braiding design incorporated into it. We love the slouchy shape of the bag and the silver metal hardware. The leather is exquisitely soft and there are subtle crocodile accents that remind you of Gucci's more exotic beginnings. Luxury that is subtle enough to tote around with you every day; what more could you ask for?

9) Louis Vuitton's Speedy in the 25 centimeter size.
Monogrammed bags will probably never go out of style. The Speedy is a great style, and we personally love the 25 centimeter size the best. While maybe a couple of years ago the 40 would have been more popular, this year we will see handbag sizes scale down quite a bit from those huge Olsen-style hobos, so go with the 25. Check out our selection of Louis Vuitton Handbags.
8 ) Alexander McQueen's Leather Biker Satchel.
The punk inspired biker style is still going to be huge throughout 2011, and one of our favorite motorcycle gear inspired purses is the Alexander McQueen Leather Biker Satchel. The best part about the bag is the tons of pockets it has! And, McQueen made the bag in black leather as well as a rich blue leather. The blue follows the ultra-bright 80s trends we have been seeing recently. While some may still shy away from such vibrant hues, we think its fabulous!

I first heard about this type of business from Carrie & the girls on Sex and the City, so when I saw an ad for it online I just had to investigate because I always thought it was a cool idea but figured it was only available if you lived in New York...it turns out this isn't the case.

So if you are even a little bit into fashion you understand how the perfect designer handbag can really take your outfit to the next level, yet unless you are very well off having a new designer handbag for every outfit would carry a little bit of financial baggage, pun intended.
