Purses are gaining increasing amount of
importance as accessories. Apart from shoes, the one thing that most of
the women choose buy are the purses. And for most women just having a
basic brown or a black purse is never enough. And it is for these women
that there is a wide range of choices ranging from canvas to faux suede
with crochet. Most of the designs available for purses today are
youngish in their look. However the mature women can also carry these
purses as well.
In the Indian fashion scene, purses made of jute, canvas and faux
leather with varied detailing and colors, bright colors like mint greens
and oranges are a big hit this season. And one of the biggest recent
rages in the Indian markets is the hobo purses, which are circular
design. This is reflected in the merchandise that is available in most
of the Indian stores in the major cities. Of course some of the stores
still stock embroidered evening or day bags, but they are considered
passé.
In fact, apart from jute, denim is another big favorite in purses in the
Indian scene. This is because in the recent years, jeans have become a
staple for most youngsters in India, and that makes the denim bags the
perfect accessory. This is notices in the hip bag stores that cater to
the teenage and 20 plus crowd in Mumbai. Though squares and rectangles
are still pretty popular, the more adventurous youth are opting for
geometric shapes, which are more happening.
One of the better features about the hobo purses are that they have many
compartments and the hobo purses are much more interesting than the
regular black leather affair with lots of compartments. Well, the
compartments are still there but the look has changed.
Hobo purses are popular for another reason as they are suitable for most
body types. The shape of the body is important when one is trying to
choose a purse. This is because if you choose a shape, which is the
opposite of your body type, it makes matters worse. If you are tall and
thin, then a slouchy, rounded hobo purse is sure to compliment your
figure. On the other hand if you're short and voluptuous, it is
important to play off opposites by choosing a hobo purse that is tall
and rectangular or long and sleek. However the general rule is that the
rounder your figure, the more structured your bag should be.
While the shape should oppose your body type for maximum flattery, the
size of the bag should be in proportion to your figure. Therefore a
woman who is 6 feet tall and a size 14 would look lost with teensy hobo
purses. On the other hand, a petite size woman would look overwhelmed by
an enormous hobo bag.
Hobo purses are all the more relevant in the fashion scene. This is of
course due to the fact that they have recently been crowding the fashion
streets and hubs of all the major Indian cities. But another reason for
their popularity is the fact that they have been featured on a number of
Indian fashion magazines and fashion shows.
