Faux Fur Bags

Every woman has to have her handbag. For many of us, we carry our whole life in it. They are probably the most functional part of our wardrobe. And while some women don't think of their purse as a part of their wardrobe, your handbag can really make a fashion statement. It can compliment your figure as well as your outfit. This year handbags have gone big. For a while the trend was tiny handbags and clutches. But, finally, you can have a handbag that fits all of your accessories and is in fashion.

Another big fashion trend in purses is animal print and faux fur. And what a combination these three styles make! Faux fur bags are wonderful way to jazz up your wardrobe, just make sure that it is an oversized one.

Large faux fur bags make a serious fashion statement. Let's face it, you can't exactly hide them. So, you want to make sure that your bag is looking good, because it will stand out either way. Some of the popular styles of oversized bags include doctor's bags, satchels, totes and bowling bags.

One decision you'll have to make with these large bags is exactly how to carry them. They are not, after all, very discreet. So, do you place it in the crook of your elbow and walk around with a swanky bent arm or do you risk frumpiness and actually use the provided shoulder strap? Do you simply carry it by the handles? The best advice is to do a little of everything. When you are tired of carrying it one way, you can switch to another.

Oversized purses are so wonderful that I could go on and on about their benefits, but there are a couple of disadvantages to them as well. One of the benefits of having an oversized bag is that you can practically live out of the purse; there is room for everything. But, it can actually feel more like small luggage or a briefcase than a handbag. And while the proportions of the bag can actually make you look smaller, it may be a bit overwhelming on a petite woman. Another thing that is wonderful about these purses is that they are very versatile. You can wear them with everything from a business suit to jeans and a sweater. On the other hand, it can be hard to be graceful while carrying an oversized purse around. They easily bump into everything!

The "Kariba Large Rue" by Kate Spade is one such oversized purse with a lot of style. It is made with a bold, custom-designed, abstract zebra pattern. It is a spacious, classic tapered shoulder tote with an interior zip pocket and double slide pockets. Covered with fabulous faux fur and a tumbled goatskin leather trim, this purse will look great with any outfit. It is accented with light gold hardware and comes in a chocolate/camel color. The hefty price tag is a bargain, considering you will use this bag with everything!

If you stay on top of current trends, then you know that faux fur bags are hot this year. Animal prints and oversized styles are on the top of the charts as well. Look for a high quality, fashionable design and you will have a purse that makes a bold fashion statement and that you will use for several seasons.
