A woman needs lots of handbags. This is a fact.

Of course it isn’t possible to buy several per year, at least most of us can’t afford to. I actually think one shouldn’t.
The answer is going for quality and building up your set of bags over the years.
That means starting with the basics, which are usually black and brown, and then adding less sensible colours. Which depends partly on personal style but should also depend on timeless taste.

Having collected several bags over the years I am not really looking at the basic ones anymore. That’s why last week I stopped in front of a green bag!!
Green, I like this colour. My clothes tend to be very simple and the colours aren’t bright at all. That’s where a, not exactly bright but nevertheless a coloured bag, comes in!!
Dark green but even a brighter one, is really quite good with lots of colours if you think about it. It is better worn during winter but not that bad for the summer months either, as long as it isn’t worn with elegant clothes.

Anyway, here is one I find gorgeous:
