Ladies, get out your Easter bonnets because springtime handbags have arrived. Designers are beginning to release their newest brightly-colored collections on unsuspecting women everywhere who are still wearing sweaters and scarves. Nevertheless, as the weeks fly by, the new season is closing in on us, and the bags are here to prove it.
I can’t imagine a purse exemplifying the soon-to-arrive blossoms better than the Dooney & Bourke Cindy Tote in the new ‘Flowers’ pattern. The popular Cindy bag has been available from D&B for a while now and has appeared in many fabrics and patterns including checks, patent leather, croco-embossed leather, linen, and more. The new floral print option, however, has just recently been unveiled to jump start spring shopping.
Admittedly, the ‘Flowers’ line is not for everyone. I personally prefer to keep bold floral patterns limited to a flowy top, but this Cindy tote does make quite a statement. The realistic flowers look as if they were freshly cut and attached to the bag. It brings to mind images of Charlotte from Sex and the City in a floppy straw hat and kitten heels.
The style is ultra-feminine and very uptown. It isn’t everyone’s favorite look, for sure, but some have the fashion sense and taste to pull it off. If you so dare, this medium-sized D&B is available in a dahlia and orchid print as well as the lily print shown here. Coated cotton material makes the bag practical and durable while light brown leather trim adds some simple detail. The ‘Flowers’ Cindy tote is priced at $175.
