Style tip?  The clutch may have been all the rage for the past few seasons, but for Spring 2011, a more sizable bag is on the horizon.  A logical progression from summer and fall’s obsession with the satchel bag, the top-handle handbag took the runways by storm.  In both structured and unstructured form factors, this bag gives you a bit more space for your essentials.  We adore the structured versions of the top-handle handbag, as they add a sophisticated touch to even the most casual of looks.  If you’re feeling bold, try one in an unusual color - else, you’ll be right on the neutral trend with a nice brown bag.

What do you think?  How would you wear the top-handle handbag?  Share your thoughts in the comments!
