Flash That Zebra Handbag
Make a bold statement with your wardrobe and add a zebra handbag as it will undoubtedly add some pizzazz into virtually any ensemble you choose. Some people are afraid of animal prints because they feel that they may be viewed as skanky, but if you wear it right, animal prints can make an outfit look sexy, chic and classy.
The key to carrying a zebra handbag with flair is to wear a solid color on your body whether it is red, pink, white or black and pair that with the handbag. That extra accent of the black and white stripes of the zebra draws the eye to you without overpowering the beholder. The styles of zebra handbag along with the materials that go in the construction of it do play somewhat of a part in how it affects your wardrobe.
Material Girl
The material of the zebra handbag is what distinguishes it from a casual purse to one that carries certain sophistication befitting a dress or even designer duds. For instance, nylon and cotton are durable yet cheap materials that would not likely find its way to a designer handbag with zebra print. You would more than likely find a nylon or cotton zebra handbag gracing the shelves of an accessory store aimed at the teenage crowd.
Faux fur is rather big as it would be viewed as cruel and unusual to have a real zebra handbag made from zebra skin. The faux fur is often paired with other materials like leather for a higher quality purse, especially if it is from a famed designer. Sometimes, the leather is coordinated with black or white leather and other times with a bright color like turquoise or red.
Of course, with the leather techniques these days, a zebra design could be stamped on leather quite easily. Another option is the use of suede or calf's hide with the hair still attached which is then dyed to match the black and white stripes. These two options are sometimes found in higher end zebra handbag options as well as with top name designers.
Choose a Style
Style is yet another way that your zebra handbag could affect the overall look of what you wear and the problem is, there are quite a few styles! There is the bucket style purse which is fashioned to be able to sit upright on its bottom and it is somewhat shaped lit a bucket in that when you open the zipper, it creates a round, wide opening, like that of a bucket.
You could choose a zebra handbag clutch which is shaped like a large envelope that could be clutched under the arm but also comes with a detachable strap. A barrel purse is obviously shaped like a barrel while tote handbag is sized to handle more stuff with a large handle for looping it over your shoulder. The key to creating an attractive looking ensemble is choosing a zebra handbag which best suits your personality and personal preference in regards to material and style.
