Leather handbags have seen a transformation over the past few seasons. While solid black leather has been left in favor of snake or crocodile skin, studs, or bright and bold colors, having the gaudiest handbag seems to be the goal in Hollywood. A new style seen recently on celebrities has been metallic colored handbags, such as this silver handbag seen on Beyonce. The bag is a darker silver color but still designed with a metallic sheen. In appropriate style for the season, the handbag a hobo that can be carried or worn over the shoulder. Nearly any color handbag can be designed with a metallic sheen, and, as a result, bold, solid color handbags are being designed in metallic or gem tones similar to the bag Beyonce’s holding.

If buying a designer handbag isn’t in your budget – we are in a recession after all – the next best thing is to find one by a discount or wholesale handbag retailer. Retailers like Best Handbag Wholesale carry similar metallic handbags, such as this metallic designer-inspired handbag. Similar to Beyonce’s bag, this designer-inspired bag by BHW comes in a metallic sheen – copper or gold in this case – and is large enough to be a hobo handbag.
