Boho to Go: Colorful Boho Fabric Bags

If you’re a green devotee or not a fan of leather, one very lively and fun handbag trend you should check out this season now is the colorful fabric bag. This bag is hitting the fashion scene and showing up slung on the shoulders and across the bodies of women all over and several celebrity fashionistas. Because we are seeing so much of the ’70s bohemian hippie chick look on the fashion streets, this bag is perfect.

What I like about these bags is you don’t even have to put a lot of energy in creating a cool boho outfit if you pick a bag with enough color and personality. A simple t-shirt and pair of jeans can be transformed into a cool hippie chick look. Another thing I like about this “it” bag of the moment is it can be completely your own. Unlike certain bags that are instantly recognizable, a boho bag can be something that sets you off from the crowd. There’s nothing wrong with being one of many Coach, Prada, or Birkin carriers in a room, but be honest, who doesn’t want to be noticed?

One of my favorite things about this colorful bags is they are usually oversized. Most of these bags come with nice long straps you can sling over your shoulder for hands free, or you can tie knots to make it into a handheld purse. One thing to keep in mind when you’re looking for one of these stylish bags, remember that brighter is better. If you’re looking to stand out in a crowd, be sure to look for bold pattern like tie-dyed, batik, and ethnic prints. Although several bags may be made at the same time, tie-dye and batik prints are pretty random, so you can truly make this bag your own.

Although I think you should definitely go with a print for this type of bag, you should also look for beading, fringe, leather, and other eye-catching embellishments. You may even come across some with mirrored discs that catch the light on them. This might not be the bag to take to work, but you could definitely fit all your necessities in it. These colorful fabric bags are at their best when they are oversized to allow you to carry all of your gear to the beach, yoga, or for a weekend getaway.
