Patchwork handbags are part of several brand lines, such as this bag seen on Jessica Simpson.

One popular pattern this season has been light floral prints, with flowers, almost designed in a watercolor style, on a light background.

Western styles and cross body bags are in at the moment, and Reese Witherspoon is seen here with both trends.

Animal print has been seen on many celebrities, including Katherine Heigl from Grey’s Anatomy.

Western style is still iln the mainstream, such as this black leather fringe handbag seen on Kate Moss.

Jeweled clutches are a common style at the moment, seen here on Kate Winslet, but even affordable blinged out purses and handbags can be found.

Patchwork wallets are some of the styles at Best Handbag Wholesale and combine several types of materials.
