This fall, designers are spicing up their colors; and to my delight, purple seems to be their poison of choice.

Infatuated with all shades of the color purple, this season’s handbag trend feels like it has been crafted just for me!

That is why, for the August Handbag of the Month, I have selected the Lattington Satchel from MICHAEL by Michael Kors. A cheaper sub-brand of Michael Kors, MICHAEL offers buyers a chance to purchase a fabulous bag from the designer at half the price.

Listed at $398, the Lattington Satchel comes in shades of purple, black, and luggage. Accented with gold rivets that drape the front and backside of the purse, the Lattington Satchel features textured leather, a zip closure, interior zip pockets, and a chain to attach your keys to.

Sized 14 inches wide and 8 inches high, this bag will fit perfectly in your hand without overpowering your outfit. Said to be medium sized, this purse can potentially hold a water bottle, wallet, and small book, according to the Nordstrom Web site. And, should you tire of toting your purse around in your hand, this bag also has a 24 inch detachable strap if you decide to carry it on your shoulder.

A perfect fit with the fall trend, you’ll be sure to turn heads with the Lattington Satchel. Already available at such stores as Nordstrom and Michael Kors, you can order the handbag, or purchase in-store as well.

So, be bold and purchase your purple Lattington Satchel today!
