Size and fit are never a factor with handbags,
making them an ideal – and hassle free – Mother’s Day gift. The only
information you need to arm yourself with is mom’s personal style –
every woman has it and once you decode it, you’ll be golden. Here’s
how you can decipher mom’s Purse-onal Panache™.
- First, pay attention to what she’s wearing over a period of a week
or two. If her fashion repertoire is dominated by t-shirts and
jeans, she’s probably not a satchel lover. If she’s wearing tailored
dresses and stilettos, you may want to rethink a messenger or
cross-body bag.
- Then, look at the colors she wears and the colors she chooses for
her home. If she has a green sweater that she loves and you see
green plates and maybe green pillows, well then why not excite her
with a Kelly green tote?
- Next, consider the interior design as an extension of personal
style. If her bedroom resembles a fabulous Parisian boudoir, replete
with crème and pink paisley wallpaper and a white canopy bed, you
better believe she’ll enjoy an elegant and glamorous crème python
clutch. If she’s gone green with organic linen, implemented halogen
light bulbs and is considering adding solar panels, wow her with an
eco-conscious handbag.
- Finally, she’s your mom. You know how she lives and what her daily
tasks and obligations are, so keep them in mind when you’re
shopping. If she’s a busy soccer mom running around with your two
younger siblings, then she needs a style that sits snuggly over her
shoulder not a top-handle handbag. On the other hand, if she’s
in-and-out of board meetings and is always complaining that she
hates carrying her full bag when all she needs is her laptop and a few
papers, a leather portfolio sounds like the right choice.
Keep these tips in mind when you’re on the hunt for that great bag
for mom, and you’ll certainly be her favorite child … at least this
year! Below are some BagTrends bag-a-liciously approved styles that
may work with your mom’s personal style. |
