Fall Trends: Shearling Handbags

There is a recurring trend that never fails to make an appearance each and every fall season. In fact, I am sort of in favor of not calling it a trend anymore. So what is this so-called trend? I am talking about fur handbags, of course! But this coming fall season seems to be a teeny bit different. Yes, I have already seen several fur handbags floating around out there. However, shearling handbags seem to be the hot “new” thing. Some designers have placed a lot of emphasis on shearling, which is sheepskin with the wool left on. Sometimes it is clipped short (sheared) and sometimes it is left long. It can be dyed or left natural. As a result, shearling offers a variety of furry looks! Check out these styles from some of our favorite designers.

Fendi Shearling Mini Baguette Bag – $1750
Hello orange! Nothing screams fall more than fall colors. I love the short wool paired with the ultra bright color. Plus the small size keeps this piece from seeming too over-the-top.

Elizabeth and James Jack Bag – $645
Talk about fluff! This shearling handbag is wild and untamed! I love the color too, nice and neutral. This piece is versatile as well. It can be carried as a clutch or shoulder bag.

Burberry Prorsum Shearling Bowling Bag – $2495
Burberry is no stranger to unusual textures, so shearling seems like a logical fit for fall. I love the tone on tone texture variation between the shearling and smooth leather.
