They come and go, but metallic handbags are now hotter than ever. Metallic bags are very hot looks for 2008 Spring handbag trends.

Expect to see metallic bags in the shape of retro clutches and oversized bags.  Colors will range from burnished gold to gunmetal grey. Colors like purple, blue, pink, and orange will also translate well into metallic looks.

One way that metallic bags will pop up is with subtle metallic leather trim on fabric handbags. You can also anticipate added details like metallic stitching and tassels to spice up handbags.

Another way that a metal shine and pizzazz is added to trendy handbags is through their hardware. Look for chains replacing handbag straps, decorative clasps, studs, and rings.

I have to give credit to my husband for my fav christmas gift – and a uber find to share with you. Arielle de Pinto does these crazy hand hand crocheted necklaces from sterling silver and vermeil metal.

Every piece conforms to style design and dimension, yet each is individual with an uninhibited rawness.
 
My Simple 3x is a 53” that’s bang on trend as a long chain, or wraps around up to three times. Not only that – it easily settles the age old dilemma on whether or not to mix’n match silver and gold!!

One half of mine is all silver, and the bottom half is all gold. It has a bit of overlapping twisted and tangled in both of the joining points – and literally threads of single chains dripping here and there for edgy fashion.

Love Love it. My boy has great taste.

Play with greys by keeping it monochromatic and layering your shades and textures (very flattering for the voluptuous gals), or shine in your metallic shades of silver and moody gunmetal, like Ali Larter in this Calvin Klein dress from his Fall 2008 Collection.
