The Latest Trends for Handbag Accessories
When we talk about leather handbags, they definitely come with a lot of accessories. There is a large variety of fittings and zippers which are manufactured for the leather industry and are sold under various brands. The common handbag accessories are zipper sliders, dog hooks, buckles, belt adjusters, links, and locks and handle lugs.
The Role of Quality
Fasteners and zippers are standard items which are available in every handbag. But how often one has had a bad experience with the zipper which refuses to close, or the lock does not function and you are left standing with the handle in your hand! Hence high quality zippers and fittings are in demand, and the materials often used are CFC or polyester. The metal handbag accessories like buckles and long chains are often made of zinc, alloy and are die-casted so that they are prone to rough usage.
Such accessories are sold under several brand names, for example the TSF brand. Some companies also manufacture handbag accessories customized to the client's needs.
Fashion Magazines
Handbag accessories and the latest trends and designs are found in all women's fashion magazines. Often a set of accessories is popular, so if it is a new design of buckles, then all the handbags illustrated in the magazine concentrate on the various shapes, sizes and colors of buckles available.
Availability Online
There is also a large selection of handbag accessories online which lend the handbag a fabulous and trendy look, and yet does not come with a high price tag.
A company called Inspirations dealing in all kinds of fashion accessories also has special designs for handbag accessories. Most of the material used for the accessories is natural like handles made of bamboo or strings of beads. This gives an ethnic look to the handbag. Trained craftsmen reveling in hand-embroidery lend beauty to each handbag and the zippers and fittings with it are of the highest quality.
For such hand-made accessories, the import of accessories is often from India. A basic handbag can be chosen online by the customer, either of leather or any other material. Then the accessories can be chosen for it and attached by hand, which also involves embroidery. The ethnic fittings look best on cloth or thick canvas material, but are not too sturdy. Such handbags with delicate accessories are only for evening wear.
The Latest Trends
So let us take a look at the handbag accessories trends for autumn and winter 2007. Metal accessories are a big favorite as well as large clutches and plenty of beads. A dainty clutch wristlet is just as much in fashion for a dinner party as a large and heavy bag with a metal box frame for the young businesswoman to carry to work.
