Spring is not just a new beginning for nature but it's also an excuse to spruce up your wardrobe and give your handbag collection a new start.

 

Of all the spring trends hitting designer handbags in 2010, print handbags are leading the way and are set to be massive.

Print handbags are the ideal way to add colour to your outfit without decking yourself out in patterned clothes.

Where prints are concerned, less is definitely more which is why print handbags are perfect.

Katherine Heigl, Rhianna and Madonna have all recently been snapped in muted outfits complemented by brightly printed handbags to liven up their look.

The range of print handbags available at Handbags and Gladrags includes seventies style geometrics, classic tartan and pretty florals...

 

Classic Leopard Print Handbag

Leopard print can of course look horrendous if you take your inspiration from Bet Lynch but a few leopard spots here and there can brighten up an outfit and add a sophisticated touch.

The Lulu Guinness Medium Suzy Leopard Print Handbag is classic in design so it's workable for many seasons.

The funky leopard print design is very similar to the one recently sported by Madonna and the versatility of this bag means it's smart enough for the office and funky enough for a shopping trip.

 

Not-so Traditional Tartan Print Handbag

Tartan print has been around for many years and is a signature style theme for designers such as Vivienne Westwood and Burberry.

You can have a tartan handbag right on trend for 2010 thanks to eclectic designers English Eccentrics and their Burns Night Tartan and Patent Handbag in beautiful violet.

Perfect for a shopping trip, this spacious handbag is also available in slate and fern for a more subtle look.

 

 

70s Inspired Print Handbag

If you want to achieve the print handbag look for less then a tote bag is always a good choice as they tend to be much cheaper than grab bags.

There are literally hundreds of printed tote bags to choose from on the high street and we also have a funky choice at Handbags and Gladrags from Billy Bag.

The Billy Bag Purple Print Packable Tote folds up to a tiny size and can be brought out when you need it most - mid shopping trip!

At just £12.50, this bag is a real bargain and will give your outfit a great retro touch.

Printed Cameo Cosmetics

For a retro look which dates back further than the 1970s, Lulu Guinness has created a range of beautiful Victorian inspired cameo designs on her latest cosmetics bag range.

With prices starting at just £20 for the cute Lulu Guinness Cameo Print Small Cosmetic Bag these bags are a highly affordable way to be on trend this season so buy yourself a little treat!
