The New It Color: Cobalt Blue
Spring 2009 is just around the corner! It won’t be long now before all the new handbags for Spring will be hitting the store shelves. It seems that a lot of trends from Fall 2008 will be carrying over into the new year. As I have been browsing around, however, it appears that a new color may be rising to the top of everyone’s want lists very soon. I just have two words for all you bagistas out there: Cobalt Blue. It has been sprouting up within the collections of several designers lately. And the girls over at TBF? Well, quite frankly, some of them are just plain batty for this color. Could Cobalt Blue be our next Dark Purple? Only time will tell! If you ask me though, this color definitely has the potential to become something BIG. And why not? It is absolutely gorgeous! Here are a few bags I found that are currently available in this vibrant shade of blue:
Rebecca Minkoff Nikki – $600
It’s big, soft, and ultra slouchy! The Nikki has been a long time favorite of bagistas everywhere!
Available exclusively at Luna Boston
Marc Jacobs Jen Bag – $775
Classic shape meets eye popping color! Who says a chic bag isn’t meant to turn heads?
Check it out at *NET-A-PORTER.COM*
Nancy Gonzalez Flap Shoulder Bag – $2,950
Ready for a (mega) splurge? Nancy Gonzalez has just the bag for you!
Find it at Saks.com.

I LOVE THIS COLOR! AND I REALLY WANT THAT NIKKI.
I was wondering, is that picture above of the Nikki or mini Nikki?
Is the mini too small to wear over your shoulder?
w*12, it is a picture of the regular Nikki.
W12, that’s the regular sized nikki.
The mini, imo is way too small to wear over your shoulder. It’s more of an arm bag.
That’s actually 1 MJ bag I wont buy. The straps are so thin that it looks uncomfortable to carry over the shoulder. Well that’s if you were to use this as a work bag, and fill it up.
I love the color of that Nancy Gonzalez bag. Yummy!
Hmm I’d have to see this in person. The pictures make the
color look a tad washed out, but I’m hoping this is a much more
rich jewel tone in reality.
Chic bags are meant to turn heads..
This color is amazing. I own the MAM in cobalt and I wear it everyday!!!
I want jennifer’s bag. It looks so beautiful in that picture.
How much is the mini cobalt nikki? I didn’t see it on the site.
I’m frozen on that RM bag.
Great post!!
What about the neon trend? I noticed a lot of designers are sticking with that for summer. Like 80’s neon.
Love Love Love the color!!
I am a fan of that Nikki but if your a a fan of the MK,
I would much rather prefer Lockheart’s Michelle Special Edition
thats coming out soon. Its a little bigger than the MK and
I agree Adair those straps are way too small, the Lockheart
bag has straps to accomodate for that cause they are all about
style + functionality, thats why they are one of my faves.
Cant wait to rock a blue bag!!
Nay to the exotic. Poor animal.
Thanks for the trend report :)
I need a blue bag for spring. < 3
I agree with “neon?” I think that neon is going to be really hot.
The Jen bags straps are too thin.
Why is Nancy Gonzalez so expensive? Does she even have a leather line?
Great blog! I love the Nikki!!
