In 2009, the must-have color for handbags was Cobalt Blue. This gorgeous color made an appearance in the collections of many, many designers. This color was so hot, it’s no wonder everyone wanted a piece of the action. So is this color trend dead in the water? From the look of things, not by a long shot! That’s right, the hot new color for Fall 2010 is… (drum roll)… Electric Blue! It’s a new name, but virtually the same color. Just check out the Cobalt Blue bags I wrote about back in 2009 and compare them to the Electric Blue bags I have pictured below. Pretty much the same color, aren’t they? But hey, that’s okay! This is probably one color I will never grow tired of, especially when it comes to handbags.

But do you know what I like best about this “new” color trend? The fact that it has made its way to some of our favorite styles. What a great way to brighten up your look, while still maintaining that classic feeling! Plus Electric Blue is a surprisingly versatile color, you can wear it with a lot of different things and it will always look lovely! Below you will find a couple of my top picks from this color trend. How gorgeous are they?
