ACCESSORIES FILE: PRIM PURSES

The resurgence of 60s style, compounded by the brilliant costuming on the screen in shows like Mad Men and Pan Am, has made ladylike style a mainstay on the market. The mindset has extended to handbags, with pastels, top handles, and structured shapes exuding a classic primness with a touch of modernity. Louis Vuitton, Dolce and Gabbana and J.Crew had wholly feminine, colorful approaches to the accessory. Consider this piece a safe investment now: a pastel bag will pop against bold colors, prints, and jackets, or clean and liven a simple tee and jeans come summer.
