      Welcome to spring, everyone! We’ve made it through a long, gloomy winter. I'm on the lookout for a new investment bag to treat myself, and I've been alert for emerging trends—one of which was just showcased by Nicole Richie. The bag she carried perfectly complemented Richie's boho-classic style, and it follows the trend that has taken over from brown suede bags: navy suede. Navy-blue bags are suddenly everywhere, a trend we've noted, but the more luxurious variation is navy suede bags like Richie’s oversized Michael Kors hobo.

      Navy suede stands out from black, brown, and burgundy as a more versatile option year-round (rather than being limited to fall and winter). While navy is currently on-trend, it’s also recognized as a classic color, which makes it an excellent investment. And if you’re concerned about your navy bag clashing with black, that's no longer an issue. People, including Nicole Richie, are now stylishly pairing navy with black.

      Keep scrolling to shop for the exact bag that Richie has (which is quite reasonably priced) along with some of my top picks for navy suede investment bags.
