Dear Girlfriends,

Leopard print handbags can easily work well with a casual daytime look, a night time look, and even a business look.  We love that our fellow fashionistas can keep their outfits simple and use their bags as a statement piece.  We really dig animal print bags, and think this is a great piece for any fall wardrobe.

Richly textured calf hair patterned in a striking leopard print comprises a sophisticated satchel fronted with a casually sculpted nappa-leather bow.  Tactile calf hair lends trend-right texture to a leopard-print tote punctuated with gleaming dome studs.

Vince Camuto Handbag Wild at Heart

Leather handles and a chunky chain-detailed shoulder strap top the chic style.  The Fling is everything that the name conjures and more. Its the go-to style for occasions from red carpet to impromptu dance party for celebs like Shanae Grimes, who was spotted in her leopard Fling at Fashion’s Night Out in NYC!

Offering patterns in either delicate or bold print, chic leopard print handbags are available in all the current styles. When you think of a leopard print purse, typically the hues of brown and black leopard spots come to mind. Some prints are more subtle than others, but all are stylish and fashion forward in my opinion.  Check out this find from Vince Camuto; as the designer teams rich suede with leopard calf hair and textured patent leather in this striking flap bag.

Valention Satchel

MK Kors Leopard Print Tote

Or consider a refined leopard-print design distinguishes a chic, textured calf hair satchel topped with double handles.

Chloé 'Aurore - Printed Leo' Calf Hair Satchel

Handbag trends come and go, but the leopard print is here to stay. After all, leopard print bags have been around for a long time and they will continue to be crowd pleasers.

Until the next style adventure,
