Top 5 Statement Handbags

The new season brings with it the decision of a new statement handbag. A woman's handbag is much more than an empty vessel, it should reflect your unique personality and style, whether it be for a day at the office or an evening out. The statement bag should exaggerate an existing trend, bring in elements of a trend or simply remain timeless, without forgetting functionality.  A handbag is the keeper of a woman's life, Coco Chanel once said that the reason for inventing the interior pockets in her bags was for 'womens secrets'.
