Neutrals are going to be the very thing in the springtime, so imagining that the pale blue background to these images is a gentle, cloudless sky, let's look at how one of the big handbag icons is embracing this far-from-boring trend.
The gorgeous Saffiano print roll bag is a summery take on one of Prada's classic styles, with a light and scribbly pattern reminiscent of Lanvin's recent styles. It's more than a little William Morris, which gets and extra big thumbs up from the Bag Lady. Next up is the chic and simple pebbled leather pushlock tote, in a peachy shade that's pure subtle style.
At $1,350, the Saffiano Fori Tote looks a bit like the most expensive shopping bag I've ever seen, but its baskety styling really does embrace the Zeitgeist this spring. The super-soft Canapa Tote could not be more different with its super soft leather, but it's every bit as timely.
Maybe you can't afford a Prada bag any more than I can - but it's good to see how neutrals can be beautiful.
