Fall 2008 Designer Handbag Report
Every time Fall comes around every Bagista thinks of what bag will be her “IT” bag for the season. Mostly all handbag lovers think of sporting around that gorgeous dark handbag that they absolutely adore. Some bagista’s might bring out some of their old stash that they only bring out at the end of the year and some might crave that new fall handbag they have seen all over the magazines and online.
I have never been one into trends in fact I hate trends. Having to wear specific colors in every season always seemed odd to me, especially when you live in a state (like me) where the climate is pretty much scorching hot all year round. For people that actually live in season changing climates trends are very popular. One of those trends are to go with dark colors in the fall. Every major designer brand always comes out with fabulous Fall handbags. My favorite colors for this years Fall 2008 handbags would black (as usual) and PURPLE! Purple is literally everywhere! It is claimed to be the Fall handbag color of the 2008 season. It seems like every designer brand out there is coming out with a purple handbag this fall. Some brands that have LOVELY purple handbags this fall are Chanel, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, and Mulberry to name a few.
Purple isn’t the only color to wear for Fall, there are also more traditional colors like brown, black, gray and pretty much anything that screams DARK. If it’s dark, dim, and dusky it’s a must for FALL!
For myself, I always look for big handbags, and the Fall is no exception. I love big handbags, especially in patent leather. Living in Florida, I don’t feel the need to follow trends, it’s 100 degrees all year round. But if I’m in NY, I must have that big, dark handbag, especially as I mentioned above, in Patent Leather. I absolutely love patent leather, it’s easy to care, stylish and sexy! I’m always on the lookout for a new hot patent leather handbag that comes out every Fall.
I have many favorite handbags for this Fall. My ultimate favorite is the Louis Vuitton Embrossed Speedy in Black but of course it comes with a hefty price tag of $2,700. If you have the mula, this is a definite MUST for Fall 2008.

Coming soon to eluxury
Another favorite of mine is the Purple Dr. Q Groove by Marc by Marc Jacobs. I’m really loving all the purple this Fall and this bag is just decadent in my opinion.

Rebecca Minkoff is a recent love of mine. I’m absolutely addicted to looking at her Morning After Mini. The style of this bag is absolutely amazing. It’s very practical and just all around beautiful. This bag and brown looks yummy!

I do love the purple marc jacobs bag, and the price is so reasonable. About the embossed speedy though, why is it so expensive?
That purple MJ bag will be mine!!!!!!!
Am I the only one not craving purple this season?
I can’t believe it’s already “Fall handbag report” time. Lol. The days are flying by.
Why is that speedy so much??
Great trend alert review marissa. Now I can’t wait to get my hands on those bags you listed above. eeeehe
Anyone know when the embossed speedy will be for sale?
I’m drooling over the new embossed speedy. I probably wont get it since the price is insane.
Am I the only one who doesnt like Rebecca Minkoff? I think her bags are all the same..
I wouldn’t consider the R.M. mini a “must have” trend bag for fall. No offense. I do like her bags, but it’s not anything new.
That MJ bag looks so good in that purple. Only thing I don’t like about that bag is the long shoulderstrap.
The speedy is on my must have list. . when will it be out?
What about man bags?? :(
I have a boring black messenger bag.. I really can’t wait to get my hands on a LV graphite damier bag!!!!!!!
That MJ bag. Stunning!
Purple is definitely a hit for fall. Seems like all my bags that I’m craving are a shade of that color.
Uhg, I hate that word “it bag”.. also I agree with you on the whole where you live and current trends. It totally varies. I mean I live in Florida also, and I probably would never wear a black or dark colored bag..
@ W*, I don’t like her bags either. I’m glad I’m not the only one. LoL.
The 3 bags pictured above are my favorite new fall bags.
I’m so excited for the new fall winter handbags.
I like the LV, but I’m not a fan of the RM or MJ bag.
What the heck is with the embossed bag? Why is it so much!
Andrew Holmes, I love the graphite bags!!! I’m thinking of getting a bag from that line.. even though it’s considered a “guys line”
I love the marc by marc jacobs handbag line. no matter what those bag are always in fashion. I love how that line is very quality but without the insane price tag.
I love the LV Embrossed. Love the big letters and the fact that they’re kind of hidden, not as blatantly visible. The size is perfect and the quality seems to last forever. The only thing is the price…
I think that the huge embossed logo thing is just tacky, even though (or esp. b/c) it is Vuitton. Look, everyone, my bag cost more than your mortgage payment! I just cannot.
