This spring/summer, it's not the size or shape of your bag that counts, it's the colour.
In addition to popular neutrals and acid brights, bags come in a rainbow of colours, most notably sea blues and fruity mandarins. Colour blocking in two or three tones is spring's most striking theme, as is pared-down boxy shapes.
The spring palette at ck Calvin Klein for women uses bold, minimalist colour blocking to dramatic effect. Contrasting or complementary colours highlight the bags' main body and handles.
The palette is not for the shy - chartreuse yellow, bright mandarin and vibrant pink are stand-outs, in addition to the brand's signature black and nude. Soft, tumbled leathers create clean silhouettes with strong lines available as satchels, totes, slings and clutches.
The ck Calvin Klein's men's line captures timeless functionality and practical styling. Square lines and shapes have been softened and updated with tumbled leather in bright mandarin or classic tones of black, bone, navy and light grey. Mod two-tone colour blocking is also key for men.
LeSportsac has introduced three fun and functional totes - the metallic Carryall, the classic black City and the whimsically colourful Picnic Tote - a blue gingham topped with pastries, teacups and card games. These join the Classic collection, which this season is all about pastels, polka dots and ruffles in a nod to the gardens of spring.
For men, LeSportsac has a selection of bags in its signature rip-stop nylon that are practical for guys on the go, yet refined enough for the office. Road Block features a reflective stripe and is a nod towards denim fashion. Wired is a plaid pattern in blue with orange accents and toned down in black.
