Get Baggin' Brights

Chanel, Fendi and Marc Jacobs all included bright-colored handbags in their 2008 Spring/Summer collections this year. The list doesn't end there: Lanvin, Maison Margiela and Pierre Hardy also included poppin' bags that filled the color spectrum. As it goes, any color is in this season — that is, anything out of reach of depthless AA "range." 



Whether matched with colored prints or solid basics — patent leather, fabric and animal-skin handbags help a look standout. Finding a bright bag to your liking won't be hard and making it work with your outfit just right could be accomplished in so fashions.
