Bag Trends: 1, 2, BUCKLE MY SHOE?
     

2010 will be the year that designers go back to to the hardware store for screws, bolts and buckles.
     
   
Cole Haan, Ruched Leather Satchel, $395
  ChloĆ© Ethel Medium Satchel, $1,295
  Salvatore Ferragamo Gathered Leather Satchel, $1,390


It seems that without hardware, bags just look lonley. Websites like UMX.com cater to designers need to bump up their bags with more bells and whistles (literally) to make them more interesting. (Note to independent designers, stay away from the bamboo handles please!) In keeping with trend, brands like Cole Haan, ChloƩ and Salvatore Ferragamo can be used to great inspiration or just to own for the right way to do hardware. Just enough to make it look unstructured with shine but not so overdone that it should come with a chiropractor's number on the label.
