There's something slightly frivolous about a colourful leather handbag, and that's why we love them. Your cost per wear might not be as low as with a black handbag but that's not the point of them. Think of them as the cooler, kid-sister to the sensible black handbag.

Choose a matt leather - it makes the pigment really pop. And any colour goes. Go on - they deserve a place on your arm.
