The affordable colourful leather handbags you need for spring

The affordable colourful leather handbags you need for spring

Ah spring, so full of strawberry smoothies, pastel shades, faint rainbows, and bright yellow daffodils. Like many, I’m frozen solid in minus temperatures, so naturally, I can’t stop talking about spring. If you’re looking for a mood-boost in preparation for warmer days, investing in a colour-pop option is just what you need.

Inspired by Gucci, I’ve been obsessing over embroidered chained shoulder bags for too long, and because of Cult Gaia’s acrylic wristlet, I’m forever drooling over minaudière’s. I’m even doing a happy dance over Zara’s green straw treasure. Dial-up your summer dress-code with handbags in woven textures, tie-dye splashes and abstract designs. Ladies, toss your black leather aside, winter is over, kinda. Let’s update our handbag game, because the options are endless for spring.

So if you’re over winter as much as me, prepare yourself for warmer days with some seriously chic, colourful (and affordable!) leather handbags you’ll want need for spring. Happy shopping.
