Red bags are not just a seasonable item but a wardrobe must have. Red bags look great with leopard print shoes, a hounds tooth skirt, a zebra print top, a head-to-toe black outfit, a work suit, jeans and a white t-shirt. No fashion item is more versatile than a red bag. It’s an effortless way to turn your outfit from plain to chic.
Throughout time, the red bag has proven to be a lasting staple in fashion. Fashion icons like Audrey Hepburn, Jacqueline Kennedy, and Marilyn Monroe were seen toting red bags. Today red bags are ever present on the runways and among the Hollywood elite. Everyone from Marc Jacobs to Nine West include red as a prominent color in their seasonal hand lines.
The red leather bag is one of those items that you will have and use for years. The handbag you carry on a daily basis. The one you take with you to work and wear when you go out at night. The red bag is one of the most practical fashion investments you can make and you can find them in every price range. A red bag is not simply an extra bag but a fashion necessity and should be present in ever girl’s closet.

I need a red bag.
I adore red bags. I wear alot of black, and a red bag finishes off the look.. ..I hate wearing a black bag with a black outfit.
About the Bruna. Jennifer in the bag forum said exactly what I was thinking about the pretty Bruna bag – “if it didn’t have the lovely belt detail, it would just be a plain old mj bag.. the belt really finishes the look.” I really need that bag.
Well ICA!!! Red leather bags are a definite must have! It’s like frosting on the cake! Keep up your magnificent writing! Your giving tres important advice to aspiring fashionistas out there…Keep up the great work!
I’m not really a fan of red bags, but you have convinced me of ways that it can work for me, especially since i wear print. You know what you’re talking about. Greatly written and I can’t wait to read your other stuff (pimp). :)
