Floral Shoppers that are ‘Show-Stoppers’
Invariably attractive and compact, shoppers with beautiful cascading blooms or random designs of floral fantasy can be bought in their glossy or matt variants. They come with all sorts of closure choices like snap-button, zipper, Velcro and flap. The dual handles are predominantly flat with certain exceptions that come with rounded-handles.
Cotton and PVC-coated canvas are the most suitable and sought-after materials for spring-time shoppers. Some bags are designed in dreamy water-hues, while others are sequined sparingly to perfection. The shape of the bag plays an important role in defining the bag.
The square or rectangular outset of the bag makes it more expedient for street-fashion styling and for better storage advantage. -

Floral Prints with Appliqués bring spring-time joy
A floral print gone wrong can put a dismal shadow on your spring styling, but when it is spot-on, the effect is perfectly spring ready with all the flamboyance. Florals can really highlight the essence of a bag and give it personality and when teamed with appliqués we know it is like hitting the bulls-eye.
Box bags with pastel floral print that have a clean ‘60s mod vibe are a good choice for those who like to keep it minimal. Michael Kors for example is a brand that experiments with its creations by running the gamut of various floral options, including leather appliqués either single or splattered in the same shade as the bag itself, floral appliqués of a different material, floral prints all over the bag etc. The 3D flower attachments to small and delicate light-coloured bags can also embellish and redefine spring simplicity with an urban twist. They animate the bag in supreme splendour while keeping the elementary resplendence of spring alive. These three-dimensional design elements exude springtime fun with both colour and texture.

Florals and Fringes- A Love Story
The tassels-and-fringes style has a touch of bohemia and the 70s retro, razzle-dazzle, it is definitely something we’re glad to see is making a comeback. Fringing is absolutely everywhere, accessorizing everything from graphic dresses and crochet tops to galaxy print clutch bags. Fringes are forever, and are always upbeat among the younger divas, the fusion of fringes and florals portrays a bit of fun along with a bit of radicalism. Wild flower renditions, smaller floral prints and hand-worked bags with fringes give a playful spin to your busy spring days. Hand-held shoulder bags or cross-body bags make for great accessories when teamed with tassels, giving them the crowning glory.

Like Spring Like Bucket Well…Bucket Bag
Bucket bags are the fun bags that come in different sizes and never seize to amaze us all.
Shaped playfully, yet wisely, they are commodious and more casual compared to satchels and totes. Due to their feminine, sophisticated and casual outlook, bucket bags embrace innovative floral design elements to give you serious springtime fashion goals. The handbags with cross-stitched straw bases, adorned with three-dimensional fittings are meant to steal your heart, while the fabric infused leather straps that are colourful, make sure to give it a more serious disposition. Some bags are detailed with a rope repurposed as a drawstring, giving a very chic sensibility to a body made of pastel-shaded leather highlighted by the wild flower design or sporadic floral themes.
The handles of bucket bags play an important role in adding the ‘fun’ to the functional. Either flat-duals or rolled-duals make for conventional options, but plain chains, woven metallic chains, inter-locked patterns, woven threaded handles and circular hoops give the neoteric spin to these wonder bags.
