We love basic black and adore the various shades of grey and brown during the winter, but that doesn't mean that we don't want a hint of cheer in the colder months. If you agree, check out these bags with a big color kick:

Baghaus Natasha Patent Tote - $29.99
Patent leather is big this season, so our Natasha Patent Tote fits right in. With its shiny leatherette finish and buckle closure, this unique bag comes in vibrant colors like red and white, a color rarely seen in fall.

Baghaus Nappa Bag - $42.00
Another patent favorite, our Nappa bag gives you the patent finish in a bright blue hue that is sure to warm you up on the chilliest of days.

Baghaus Belted Satchel - $32.00
Another seasonal trend besides the patent look is the metallic look. This belted satchel is a new addition to the Baghaus family that is chic and eye-catching during the drab months of winter.

Baghaus Nautical Tote - $42.00
Slightly neutral but still colorful, our Nautical Tote - New Winter Version goes with lots of your wardrobe and will stand out on the greyest of fall days.
Summer has been all about big, clunky bags that you could practically take on vacation – as your luggage. We admit, we do love roomy bags so that we don't have to compromise on the essentials we take with us everywhere. But, the bigger the bag, the more temptation there is to overstuff it. This leads to sore backs and achy shoulders.
So how do you get some of the big trends of summer and the upcoming fall season without giving yourself an achy breaky back? Well, you go medium, of course.

Baghaus Heloise Tote-$52.99
The new Baghaus Blue Heloise tote inspired by Chloe is just the ticket. As you can see from this picture, our model is not overwhelmed by the size, and neither will you be.

Baghaus Heloise Tote-$52.99
But as you can see from this side view, it is still roomy with plenty of space for all of your necessities. It is made of the best leatherette and hardware, but for only a fraction of the cost of the original Chloe. Ours can be had for a mere $52.99 compared to $1670 for the designer version.
The Baghaus Heloise comes in the blue and brown already pictured, along with this bold orange which is perfect for fall.

Chloe Patchwork Tote - $1670.00
Patchwork bags are all the rage right now. Though we think some of them are questionable (we have blogged in the past about the Louis Vuitton version that we thought was hideous) there are some very classy and chic ones that defy the usual patchwork look and become something else entirely that is highly fashionable.

Baghaus Patchwork Handbag - $52.99

Agelessness. This is a concept that most of us wish we could not only understand but represent. For if we were ageless, we could look 30 even when we are 40, and hopefully feel like it, too.
Unfortunately, the fountain of youth is just a fantasy, and we will eventually age. That being said, one of the things we love about fashion is that there are some genuinely timeless looks that no matter how old they get, truly do feel ageless.
We can say the same about some of the bags we sell here at Baghaus. No matter how many seasons have passed since their introduction, they seem to only get better (and in some cases more popular) with age. The Stam inspired by Marc Jacobs comes in both the classic quilted version, available in six colors and a limited edition exclusive that you will only find at Baghaus.
The Spy bags inspired by Fendi keep selling so well, we have to keep expanding our line. Now in medium and large sizes, the Baghaus Spy bag in various shades of gray, white, cream, brown and black, with a patterned Spy to boot!
And last but not least, what love note about our timeless bestsellers would be complete without mention of the Paddington bag inspired by Chloe. In fact, our shoppers love the Paddington so much, we have a brand-new limited edition version that is made only from the finest materials and worth every penny of the $52.99 they cost, especially when compared to the $2,000 Chloe price tag. Choose from four different colors to compliment anything in your wardrobe, and give it that ageless look we so desire with almost everything else in life.

Baghaus Black Ava- $38.00
The name Ava conjures up lots of images of famous women, past and present. From Ava Gardner to the character in Grey's Anatomy that was saved from the ferry boat accident without a face or a memory. But not matter what other Avas you might know, the name Ava Gardner is the first that springs to our mind, and quite possibly yours as well.
And why not? The star of over 50 films with numerous television appearances, she brings to mind a time long past of old Hollywood glamour and big epic pictures that had to rely on character development and sound writing rather than big special effects.
We don't know if Ava the icon was the inspiration for Chloe's Ava bag, but we don't see why she couldn't be. This gorgeous bag has the signature turn clasp and is made with the finest brown leather. At $1800, it better have signature touches and great materials!
The problem with the Chloe Ava bag (as well as Ms. Gardner herself) is that both are unobtainable in some way. Gardner for obvious reasons and the Chloe bag because $1800 is just too much money for most to pay. But that doesn't mean you have to go without – Baghaus has not one but two bags inspired by the Ava.

Baghaus Tan Ava- $38.00
The Baghaus Ava comes in your choice of black or tan with cream accents . It has a center dividing section and several pockets and cubbies for change, keys and cell phones. It also has a much easier to manage magnetic clasp instead of a cumbersome zipper like the Chloe. Maybe we should call that the Baghaus signature.

Britney Spears with her gorgeous sunburst Chloe Bay Bag
If you don't believe us yet, the Bay Bag is going to be 2007's Stam - a homerun hit! We absolutely love the brilliant glow of the hardware against that buttery soft Chloe leather. It is truly immaculate. I am melting as I post this by the way.
Trust us when we proclaim that the Bay is stunning on any arm (even K-Fed's).
We really like Britney and although it doesn't look like she is in tip-top shape yet, we know she'll get there soon. Eventually. Come on Britney, do it for the kids!
