You can't go wrong with a classic black handbag, or a navy one for that matter. But, if you're looking for a secondary, complimentary bag this summer, then a bright colourful handbag is a great choice.

Paint box, primary colours were everywhere on the summer catwalks, Chanel, Celine and Prada being particular favourites. And while the thought of spending £3,000 on a scarlet handbag might seem frivolous, there are great lower priced styles available that allow the frivolity without the commitment.
