Oh my gosh I love this trend! Shopping for a bag used to be easier. You simply had to choose the handbag that best matched your wardrobe and style. Now, even your accessories have accessories. We covered the biggest bag accessories for spring with our blog posts, Does Your Purse Have Flair?, featuring bag tassels and poufs, and Create Your Own Designer Handbag covering leather patches and stickers. For fall, the bag accessories trend includes embroidered and bedazzled shoulder straps.
