Purse Trends 2009 & Win $1000

Our Dress for Success Purse Fundraiser is inspiring us this week. Here’s a look at what some of our favourite designers showed for Spring 2009 bags.
- Marc Jacobs showed multi-layered skins and prints, and quilted totes with sporty stripes, and one in green-and-red check.
- Vera Wang’s sober colours-white, black, grey, and silver-popped beneath heavy chains and snap-tops.
- Chanel’s carrier bags-sturdy, keep-for-life versions of the paper shopping purchase bags are a study in tongue-in-cheek chic.
- Jil Sander’s bright blue satchel and white with orange-strip weekender are casual yet innovative enough to be fashionable.
