Handbag trends for 2011 are looking bright, bold, and big. The most popular and functional handbags this year are messenger bags, satchels, drawstring bucket bags, hobo bags, and oversized totes. These handbags are coming in bright colors and are often adorned with oversized latches, stone accents, metals, and sequins. Your favourite online fashion boutique carries all these shapes and styles from choice designers. Here are five of the trendiest handbags that are both useful and beautifully designed.

  1. Sabina Drawstring Handbag. Available in black or tan, this 15.5 inch-wide handbag functions as a purse while holding everything you need for the day. The plain bag is dressed up with matching leather detailing on both sides, and the drawstring feature makes opening and closing the bag quick and easy so you can easily find what you need inside. These colours match everything and never go out of style.
  2. Brahmin Dagny Tote Bag. This 51 inch-wide Brahmin handbag tote can be carried by hand with the shorter handle or over the shoulder with the shoulder strap. The interior comes with a zip pocket, two organizing pockets, a jewelry pocket, key clip, and pen loop so you can find your stuff fast in this oversized tote. Big enough for your laptop, a sweater, and anything else you need or want to bring with you. The bright and beautiful amethyst colour makes it a winning fashion statement and accessory.
  3. Isabella Fiore Olivia Hobo. This hobo handbag is slated for release in February, making it the perfect unique gift idea on Valentine’s Day for women who like to be the first in fashion trends. This hobo bag makes a bold statement in one of two super-bright colors: Mary Ann (turquoise) and Ginger (orange), both with tan leather detailing. At 16.5 inches wide, the bag is large enough to hold everything you need while out for the day, but it’s small enough to carry on evening outings as well.
  4. Leatherock Fleur de Lis Messenger Bag. This messenger-style Leatherock handbag is larger than a traditional purse at 14.5 inches wide. The soft leather comes in black or tan and is adorned with a Fleur de Lis detail of metal studs and Swarovski crystals. Additional metal studs outline the flap and edges of the bag. An outer zippered pocket is hidden on the back side to keep all your smaller necessities at hand, without reaching inside the bag.
  5. High Fashion Large Messenger Bag. Available in an array of colors—black, grey, pewter, cognac (orange), purple, and black patent leather—this deep messenger bag is taller than its width dimension. The extra-long adjustable shoulder strap can be carried across the body as well to keep your hands free. One of the best features is the three outer zippered pockets on the front of the bag, which serve as the bag’s detail and signature look.
