In my world, brown is the new black, especially when it comes to shoes and handbags. In fact, I love the way brown accessories look with black… it’s such a stark contrast! So I’m always on the lookout for a pretty new bag in brown, and I’ve spied some gorgeous ones at one of my favorite online shops, Ruche! Here are 8 gorgeous brown bags…

Hitting the Books Messenger Bag

Price: $58.99 at shopruche.com
I love a roomy messenger bag, especially during school for lugging my books around. This one’s gorgeous, too, with a removable shoulder strap, eye-catching topstitching on the details, and worn-looking brass buckles and grommets.

This lush bag by Melie Bianco is roomy, slouchy, and oh-so-pretty! The cutouts are obviously inspired by lace, and the color is as soft as the fabric. I adore the beaded detailing on the handle… this would look so pretty slung over your shoulder with a sheer peasant top and high-waisted trousers!

Journey of the Heart Cross-Body Bag

Price: $32.99 at shopruche.com
This is my new favorite bag. It’s a cross-body saddle bag, and if that wasn’t enough to make it a must-have, it also has a few pretty details: the color, the cupcake-patterned lining, and the tin flowers embossed on the faux leather outside.

This faux leather bag is generously proportioned, room enough to stash all of your necessities (bottle of water, paperback novel) and all of your treasures (Paul & Joe lipstick, Tiffany business card holder, that steamy love letter from your boyfriend). Use it for travel or just for weekdays running-around.

What's up Doc Messenger Bag
Price: $54.99 at shopruche.com
I’ve noticed that most handbags aren’t adjustable, and appear to have been designed for girls either six inches taller or shorter than me. So I’m always delighted when I find a handbag with an adjustable strap… especially when it’s as stylish and handsome as this one! It’s another messenger bag, but a girl can’t have too many of these, can she?

Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.
Fur-ociously Flirty Faux Fur Purse
/filters:quality(70)/content/pt/ec/fh8rjd8r54c8edbfb51a4118159462_450x450.jpg)
Price: $66.00 at shopruche.com
No worries, PETA. This is faux fur. And it’s lovely, isn’t it? I’d sling this over my shoulder and wear it for a day of shopping, wearing my favorite Alpine-print sweater, thick leggings, and faux-fur trimmed lace-up boots.

Bohemian Livin’ Fringe Purse

Price: $44.99 at shopruche.com
Fringe is hot. Boho is hot. Brown is hot. Why not combine all three in one gorgeous bag? The fringe detail is spectacular, long and eye-catching. The color is rich, deep brown, almost neutral. And the Boho styling makes it ideal for wearing with your favorite skinny jeans, clogs, and chandelier earrings.

Annabell Blossom Handbag
Price: $84.99 atshopruche.com
This cute little bag with ruffles is not only gorgeous but would make for a great everyday bag. I’d use this as a work bag, and wear it with a sheer ruffled top, pinstriped trousers, a cropped cardi, and heeled oxfords. The best part is this is also the perfect bag for an evening out. The girly girl within me is pleased!
I love brown bags, and now you know why! I especially love that tiny cross-body bag… and the weekender… they’re all go pretty! Which of these brown bags do you like best, and why? What would you wear it with?
