5 bold and beautiful bags for this season - in pictures

These five brightly coloured handbags can give just the right kick of colour to an sombre outfit

• 

  Etro: Long held to be a master of pattern-clashing, Etro seamlessly mixes Indian-inspired fabrics with vivid pinks and yellows.

• 

  Salvatore Ferragamo: A tidy square black bag is softened with flame-coloured flowers, which wrap over the top and tuck into a gleaming buckle.

• 

  Mulberry: Patched leather leaves become a striking motif when set against a soft teal background.

• 

  Chanel: Wrapping a giant logo around a softly quilted bag makes it bold and jaunty. Ribbons of coloured leather running through the strap round off the look.

• 

  Emilio Pucci: Retro colours of apricot, cream and seafoam are updated into a hard-sided satin bag, with a gold buckle and chain strap.

With colour being such a key trend this season, it is good to think of new ways to wear it, other than head to toe. A brightly coloured bag – like these – can give just the right kick of colour to an otherwise more sombre outfit.
