Prints

The designers did not skimp not only on bright colors, but also for elaboration color combinations: Not only monochrome, but also combined handbags are in fashion.

Official statement from Fashion Houses: there is no such thing as too much decor!

Volumes

In the new season, medium-sized bags can be safely hidden on distant mezzanines.

Style
