      5 EMERGING HANDBAG TRENDS FROM FASHION MONTH 2025

      1. POWDER PINK

      Style Notes: We predicted this trend back in January. Powder pink is undoubtedly experiencing a *moment*. It offers a more subdued version of the vibrant Barbie shades of the past, providing a gentle transition into spring while nodding to the pastel hues and lighter colors we enjoy adopting when the sun shines. Designers are transforming this sweet hue with modern and cool shapes that bring it up to date.
