Handbags 2011 from Fall-Winter Collections – Complicated Textures

Complicated texture is one of the main signs to tell us that this or that handbag marches in step with accessory fashion for Fall-Winter 2011. Now designers combine different surface materials and different colors within one and the same bag to breathe a new life into already known handbag models.

Handbags 2011 from Fall-Winter Collections – Complicated Textures Handbags 2011 prove that there can be a great number of different texture combinations: smooth leather + long-napped fur, glittering patent leather + velvety suede, python leather + ostrich leather and so on. The combinations can be grouped in two: strict ones with pieces selected to match each other in color and texture and spontaneous ones with lots of contrasting details arranged out of order. Both trends are widely used side by side by various designers.

Michael Kors Hadley Large Leather Tote

The name of Michael Kors is known in every corner of the world. Kors is renowned for his classic, chic, and luxurious but sensible aesthetic on American sportswear and other clothing styles. One critic said, “His clothes have never lost that clarity, that versatility, that American, self-possessed, no-brainer chic.

His clothes and accessories for women…are cut with enough care to become more than basic. In his able hands, what are essentially staples become classics…” In a 1996 review, The New York Times fashion critic Amy Spindler said of Kors: “Michael Kors is a designer with so much integrity in his work that it is wonderful when fashion comes back to the sort of simple, beautiful clothes he does so well.”

One of my favorite handbags presented by Michael Kors is Hadley Large Leather Tote. The bag is a part of the collection designed for Spring – Summer 2010. And I offer to take a closer look at the bag.

Chic and roomy with a clean and simple design, this leather handbag features both double handles and a removable shoulder strap. I think the color of this bag is spectacular. It just is not your everyday mousy brown. It has a richly burnished look. Whatever you call this color, it’s super versatile and will work with a lot of different wardrobe choices.

The slouchy shape of the bag is also pretty fabulous. Instead of the slouchiness making the Hadley look sloppy, it adds a sort of classy charm to the bag. The drawstring-style top is also interesting and makes the Hadley a little more secure and practical than your average tote.

Hadley features two outside zip pockets, one inside zip pocket and two inside open pockets. I love that the bag has protective metal feet and cotton lining. Roomy, elegant, versatile and stylish Hadley Leather Bag is available at $995.00.
