Mark my words, the 1980s-style purse will be worn cross-body in fall 2008. Not quite a messenger, although that's how you'll see it classified on many sites, the medium-sized purse on an ultra-long leather strap looks effortless. It's that "hello, I woke up and this ensemble just came to mind" effect. This
Marc by Marc Jacobs Posh Turnlock Messenger is a great option because you can adjust the length of the strap, should you feel the need to go counter-trend and wear it as a classic purse with a shorter strap length. This is one of those bags you never really get bored of and most likely will take out every 5 years or so. Another fall fashion look, it has the long chain strap €“ which looks even more stylish and new to me. There are more like this from
Foley + Corinna,
Ananas and
Rebecca Minkoff. I'll be doing a roundup on
www.BagTrends.com in early August on this trend. Stay tuned!
