Metallic Purses and Satchels
Just like gentlemen keep their shoes shiny, women try their best to turn their handbags into a “bling bling” accessory. Wearing a metallic purse is the easiest way to attract attention. Metallics are made in various metal colors - including black, gold, silver, copper, baby pink, lime green and sky blue – all covered with that metallic shimmering. Metallic leathers are the most commonly used material for handbags. In addition to the shine of metallic leather, designers add extra metallic pigment in order to create a mixture of the color when it reflects under light.
Metallic purses have loud personalities – often just like their owners. However, many a fashion faux pas has been captured on the runway when a misguided actress or singer sports a metallic purse with an equally loud outfit. When you carry a metallic purse, it’s likely that your purse will be the center of attention. Therefore basic colors – such as black or white often look best with metallic purses so that one doesn’t clash with the other. For a heavy-metal look try matching basic black and an eye-popping metallic bag with an accessory of the same color - a sequined shrug, a metallic belt, a rhinestone brooch, a silk embellished scarf, chunky rhinestone earrings or a necklace.
There are so many celebrities that are fond of metallic leather purses. We’ve seen the likes of Jessica Simpson, Cameron Diaz, Teri Hatcher and Brittany Murphy all sporting metallic bags. In fact metallic purses scream girl power! The only drawback of cheaper metallic handbags is that the shine surface tends to rub off quite quickly.
