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.
Chains as straps aren't always a hot trend in handbags, but they are right now! Baghaus has several bags for sale that feature elegant and trendy chains. Some are even detachable, making the bag more versatile! Here is a trip into a fashionista's version of rope:

Buckle Evening Clutch - $43.20
This Buckle Evening Clutch is elegant and sophisticated with a delicate chain strap. With the croc-embossed leatherette and buckle front, you can't go wrong with this nighttime bag.

Amelie Chain Satchel - $46.80
If we are talking chains, we can't leave out mention of our popular Amelie Croc Print Chain Satchel. Not only are the double-rolled straps partially made of chain but there is a long and elegant chain with an o-ring at the bottom that gives this bag a unique touch.

Chain Satchel - $46.80
You can't get more straight-forward with chain bags as something called the Chain Satchel. The chain is detachable, making it easy to sport with the carry handles. Timeless and beautiful, this frame bag is available in black, bronze, brown or tan.

Classic Madison Mini - $31.50
If you want classic, it doesn't get any better than our Classic Madison Mini. Not only is the leatherette quilted, but the chain strap combines to remind us of one of our favorite designers, Chanel.

Logo Clear Tote - $28.00
Chains don't have to be just about shoulder straps. This Logo Clear Tote has a synthetic leather handle with the chain as the accessory instead of the strap.
There are just not enough frame bags out there, if you ask us. And when you do get a nice frame bag it seems that they tend to be tiny evening bags that are not appropriate for daytime or work use.

Baghaus Nappa Bag-$49.99
All that has changed now with the Baghaus Nappa bag. It's a beautiful frame bag that goes easily from night to day. It has an easy zipper-top closure so that nothing falls out. As you can see from the inside, there is also plenty of pocket space including the usual Baghaus fitted cell phone pocket:

Baghaus Nappa Bag-$49.99
Inspired by Miu Miu, it is as fresh and inspiring as the rest of the Miu Miu line. But one thing it does not have in common is the price. The original Miu Miu Nappa bag will set you back $1,011 whereas the Baghaus version will only cost you $49.99.
We also have other great colors in case beige is not your thing.

Baghaus Nappa Bag-$49.99
Dark patent colors are going to be big for fall, as we blogged about here. So the pewter Nappa bag is perfect for that.
Or, if you really want to stick out and turn heads, you can go for the hot pink version:

Baghaus Nappa Bag-$49.99
Either way, you will be happy with the high quality leatherette, matching lining and great Baghaus price for this versatile bag.
Metallics were all the rage during spring and summer. Dark, glossy metallic bags, pumps and even luggage got a lot of attention, and deservedly so. It had been awhile since we had seen such chic interpretations of the shiny metal colors.

Fall and winter are still about the shiny aspect of the metallic craze, but this time in patent leather. And not just any patent leather, but dark almost gothic colors. Kate Moss's smoky grey patent leather purse is a great example of a beautiful patent color that goes with plenty and doesn't have to be the basic black we all think of automatically when you think patents. The Tory Burch Mercedes trench is another example, though a very pricey one at $1,995.
For a less expensive way to introduce colorful dark patents into your wardrobe, you can try our bags at baghaus.com. We have the deep bronze patent satchel inspired by Miu Miu for only $52.99.

Baghaus Patent Satchel-$52.99
Or you can also find this Baghaus Navy Natasha patent tote inspired by Kooba for $49.99.

Navy Natasha Navy Tote-$49.99

These black Ferragamo shoes are amazing, but are sure to cost a lot more then what most people can afford

This blue patent leather dress by Balenciaga doesn't look very comfortable but since when is fashion about comfort? It's still killer but again, not sure we would go for it in reality.
