Translating handbag trends into the Western Wear world.
When mainstream fashion sets trends, sometimes it’s difficult to navigate the trends with niche markets such as the western wear market. Western handbags can follow trends and still live happily in your closet full of western apparel, western purses, boots and belts. Here are some of 2022 trends and examples of bags from western companies that fit those trends.

This Wellington bag from Ralph Lauren is a great bag to pair with your favorite pair of boots and a great western leather jacket to bring this trend home.
*Light Bright….A bold and beautiful trend in bright hues of green, pink and periwinkle. This great tote bag with bright bold color in native pattern from Montana West is perfect for this trend.
