Always in Fashion - Silver Clutch Bags

It is said that some things, like attitude and silver clutch bags never go out of fashion. A silver clutch bag is defined as a small, silver handbag, which does not have a handle, and is designed to be carried by "clutching" it in one's hand. They are generally carried for formal evening dinner parties. Women need bags to carry their things, especially because the most feminine clothes come sans pockets. Plus, to maintain that gorgeous look, a woman must carry her purse, compact, lip gloss and Chap Stick with her always, in addition to the compulsory money and cell phone. A huge handbag looks silly on a slinky, sexy evening gown, and so these bags are the best way to go.

Silver clutch bags are always in vogue mainly because they match with most outfits. Especially if you combine them with a dark coloured evening dress, silver jewellery, and matching makeup. However, there are gold and silver clutch bag combos - which match with your jewellery in case you are wearing gold. This bag is a woman's best friend and an absolute must have for your wardrobe.

It is believed that these bags evolved with the evolution of clutch purses in the Victorian era, with the reticule - a tiny purse in which a high class, well-groomed lady kept her handkerchief (in case she bursts into tears (which happened a lot in those days) and her smelling salts (in case she swooned - which also happened very frequently in those days). These went out of fashion, and made a comeback during World War - 2, when due to financial problems and lack of resources, everything had to be rationed out, and everything had to be necessarily small. Thus, the clutch became an evening bag, because its origins lay with the Victorian era of long, silk, velvet or satin flowing skirts which have evolved now into beautiful, elegant evening gowns, usually made of similar materials.

Silver clutch bags are fashionable because their silver colour adds to the beauty of an evening gown, and because they complete the look of elegance.

Messenger Bags Are Getting More Popular - Are Hobo Bags Or Totes Your Best Choice?

When you go out for the day and the local outlet mall is your destination, then a Hobo or a Tote Bag might be a good choice. There is lots of space, and the bags are not that heavy...not a lot of compartments, just a lot of space. There are a number of fabric or canvas bags that are well suited for a casual day at the mall. And if you have to transport the soccer team later, they are very practical.

But what about spending a day on the college campus, or the office (if you are in the workforce) or even a volunteer day at a local church or business that serves the community? A backpack has become the choice of a number of day-trippers. It is not always a prime fashion choice, but practical. There is an alternative that is looming on the horizon. The messenger bag is becoming more popular by the day. It has more appeal than a backpack, and with the popularity of more tech gadgets such as iPads, netbook computers and smart phones, a more secure and convenient way to transport them. A messenger bag is a cross between a laptop bag and a businessman's briefcase. They are shaped like a briefcase, but they are soft sided with a large flap that buckles in the front for security. They may have a handle like a briefcase, but will also have an across shoulder strap that allows you to rest the bag on your hip or at your back. They come in a variety of sizes depending on your needs. Are you carrying a few books; will you need a laptop compartment; are you going overnight for a business conference and need to carry a change of clothes; will you need compartments for important papers? Whatever your need, you should easily find a messenger bag to fill it.

As far as fashion goes the messenger bag is usually made of heavy nylon or canvas, although you can find some made of leather, with a plain front, allowing for personalizing. If you are a college student, you could decorate with your school colors or logo, or attach pins from places you've been. Perhaps iron-on-patches are your thing, or family pictures or flowers. Use your imagination to personalize a bag any way that suits you. So take a look at what you have, and if your Hobo bag is serving you well, then great, but, you just might find a perfect Messenger Bag that makes your day trip more comfortable and secure. So, check out what you can find at your local retail shops and on-line stores, and make your own fashion statement.

I have been around the design business most of my working life. I owned a sofa factory, designing pieces for custom furniture stores. I was hired by a furniture manufacturer to design a line of executive office chairs, and owned a custom cabinet shop, where I did interior design for custom homes, as well as working with interior decorators on home re-models. I am now branching out into the world of fashion, looking specifically for the up-and-coming new designer. I have launched my first e-commerce web-site, [http://www.e-fashionbag.com] to highlight a hot new US designer, Bobby Schandra, who has captured the attention of the fashion market in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. My niche market is fashion handbags.
