Have a Nautical Holiday: The Resort 2015 Handbag Collections
With the resort 2015 collections now in stores, it's easy to start planning for your upcoming midwinter holiday. This year, one of the most classic and time-honored resort looks has been making the rounds on the resort runways. The nautical look, always a popular warm weather option, made an especially memorable appearance in some of the handbag collections that were shown during the resort collections. This year, if you're looking to add a timeless nautical piece to your holiday wardrobe, we've put together a list of some of our favorite handbags from the Resort 2015 collections.
Rebecca MinkoffMinkoff's handbags are always popular with their elegant balances of classic, clean lines and tough-girl modern edge. For her Resort 2015 collection, she showed crisp satchels and clean, compact shoulder bags in vibrant oranges, reds, and blues that would feel right at home in any well-dressed sailor's wardrobe.
MissoniStripes and color blocking had a strong presence in the Missoni resort collection, and the classic top-handle satchels and chain-strap cross-body shoulder bags balanced the sportiness of the designs by adding a dash of timelessness. One of these bags would definitely end up in the “keep forever” section of the wardrobe.
Costume NationalOversized luxurious leather totes and smooth, crisp shoulder bags in bold, color-blocked black, white, and navy were pitch-perfect accents to a louche, relaxed overall collection. The bags struck a perfect balance of design interest and timelessness, and we think that the navy and white shoulder bag is going to be an instant classic.
