Handbags Are Getting Spiffy & Zippy With Exposed Zipper Details!

Zippers on bags are nothing new; in fact, they're practically a basic requirement for any purse, save for maybe your everyday straw tote or canvas bag. However, ever since exposed zippers became the hottest statement on clothing, they've been popping up on must-have handbags to boot -- serving as an embellishment rather than just a simple functional closure. Think of zipper details as a more polished alternative to studs, adding metallic shine in a way that's fresh (studs have been so overdone lately!) as well as extra visual interest with asymmetrical patterns or emphasized silhouettes. Some even use exposed zippers as a pop of color, like with this Fontanelli shoulder bag! For my 10 favorite zipped-up bags for summer, take a look at the slideshow!
