2014 Purse Trends

Drawstring Purses

Drawstring purses are making a comeback this season. These bucket style bags can vary from casual to flashy to sophisticated. They come in all different colors and patterns and are great for the woman who likes to have an ample amount of space in their purse. They are also convenient when placed down because they can stand on their own and don’t topple over.

Belt Bags

These are up and coming in the purse fashion industry. They look very similar to the “unstylish” fanny pack, but are very convenient for the times that you want to be hands free without having a shoulder purse or a cross body in the way of having a good time. I would recommend these purses for amusement parks, places where dancing is involved and you may need to place/hide your purse somewhere, or to outdoor events. With these purses everything is in one easily accessible location and it’s also isn’t compromising your outfit. 

Straw Purses

These bags are generally popular around swimsuit season which is spring and summer. Straw purses fit perfectly with the beach scene, mostly with a vacation vibe of a huge straw shoulder bag filled with all the beach essentials. Now straw purses are part of this season’s trend in purses. My favorites are the cute straw clutches. It can add a cute beach feel with a flowy sun dress and some sandals.
