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… ## 1. Hitting the Books Messenger Bag ![Hitting the Books Messenger Bag](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/wr/oz/uc08960f54c8edb75e363824361184_450x407.jpg) **Price:** $58.99 at [shopruche.com](http://www.shopruche.com/maintenance.html) 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. ## 2. Lily Lace Taupe Beaded Purse ![Lily Lace Taupe Beaded Purse](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/xq/b7/zgtkjyjv54c8edb86f88c862798351_450x430.jpg) **Price:** $78.99 at [shopruche.com](http://www.shopruche.com/maintenance.html) 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! ## 3. Journey of the Heart Cross-Body Bag ![Journey of the Heart Cross-Body Bag](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/wg/tj/jdd1n51f54c8edb95eae9209724330_450x450.jpg) **Price:** $32.99 at [shopruche.com](http://www.shopruche.com/maintenance.html) 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. ## 4. Keep Calm and Carry on Handbag ![Keep Calm and Carry on Handbag](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/kh/x3/u91kwoew54c8edba581bd908071418_450x450.jpg) **Price:** $47.99 at [shopruche.com](http://www.shopruche.com/maintenance.html) 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. ## 5. What's up Doc Messenger Bag **Price:** $54.99 at [shopruche.com](http://www.shopruche.com/maintenance.html) 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? ## 6. Fur-ociously Flirty Faux Fur Purse ![Fur-ociously Flirty Faux Fur Purse](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/pt/ec/fh8rjd8r54c8edbfb51a4118159462_450x450.jpg) **Price:** $66.00 at [shopruche.com](http://www.shopruche.com/maintenance.html) 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. ## 7. Bohemian Livin’ Fringe Purse ![Bohemian Livin’ Fringe Purse](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/p1/sm/ty7io0b754c8edc0d1d3f083270197_450x450.jpg) **Price:** $44.99 at [shopruche.com](http://www.shopruche.com/maintenance.html) 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. ## 8. Annabell Blossom Handbag **Price:** $84.99 at[shopruche.com](http://www.shopruche.com/maintenance.html) 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? ## Related Posts - [best black evening bags](https://bags.allwomenstalk.com/dazzling-evening-bags/) - [7 Cute Bags by Deadworry ...](https://bags.allwomenstalk.com/7-cute-bags-by-deadworry/) - [7 Ravishing Ruffle Detail Handbags from Ruche ...](https://bags.allwomenstalk.com/7-ravishing-ruffle-detail-handbags-from-ruche/) - [cutest purses](https://bags.allwomenstalk.com/cute-purses-with-an-edge/) - [hottest bags](https://bags.allwomenstalk.com/hottest-bag-trends-of-this-season/) - [shopruche](https://bags.allwomenstalk.com/beautiful-bags-from-shop-ruche/) - [coach ladies purses](https://bags.allwomenstalk.com/8-classic-coach-bags-i-love/) - [leopard print purse](https://bags.allwomenstalk.com/leopard-print-bags/) - [budget backpacks](https://bags.allwomenstalk.com/8-fashionable-and-affordable-backpacks/) - [yl brand bags](https://bags.allwomenstalk.com/fabulously-chic-top-designer-bags-a-fashionista-should-have/) - [8 Perfect Pintsized Bags ...](https://bags.allwomenstalk.com/8-perfect-pintsized-bags/) - [8 Cute Bags by Kimchi Blue ...](https://bags.allwomenstalk.com/8-cute-bags-by-kimchi-blue/) ## Site Information - [Main page](https://allwomenstalk.com) - [Contact us](https://allwomenstalk.com/contact.html) - [HTML article](https://bags.allwomenstalk.com/8-gorgeous-brown-bags/)
