Colorblocking has dominated spring fashion lines in the past, except that it’s been mostly applied to clothes. But now it’s also on handbags and recent runway shows have presented quite an interesting selection for it.

The handbags are from Prada and Dior.

Colorblocking is simply a style that presents different colors in different blocks in one piece. What’s interesting about it is that the colors can be the unlikeliest combination you can think of, and the designer can actually make the style work.

This is a whole new and refreshing way to spice up your spring wardrobe. Don’t you just love colorblocking?

Jil Sander, Leather triangle clutch, $695, at Barneys New York.
Fancy looking, the shape may be challenging, but the bag looks spacious enough. Plus, the colors are bright and fun and will go with any spring wear.

Valentino

This clutch is more like a wallet-size piece with a wristlet attached to it, as seen below:

Emporio Armani
Really cute, with its lunchbox-shape and polka dots, this clutch brings you back in time, to the days of your youth or childhood.

Prada is going with the crumpled look, which is also seen in their clothing line next season. Not quite sure if I’m loving it. It is looks Bohemian and may be a style not a lot of people can carry.
