Steve Madden Designer Handbags Buying Guide

Steve Madden first began designing shoes out of his Queens-based factory back in 1990. He first found success with the reinvented platform shoe, making a name for himself in the competitive fashion industry. Since that time he has become a leader in shoe design – creating footwear that is fashionable, bold, fun and affordable. Over that time, he has also expanded the company to include all types of fashion wear from accessories to apparel to bedding. His line of designer handbags have also become increasingly popular over the years with women of all ages.

Hobos
One handbag that really defines the Steve Madden name is the BStarlet hobo bag. This purse is made from a soft synthetic material and features a star shaped design on the front made from rose-colored studs. The bag is deep and wide – ideal for carrying all your goods around town with you. Another great designer hobo bag that is slightly more sophisticated is the BFlames hobo bag in lilac or black. This slouchy little number features multi-colored studs which are sprinkled around the bottom and side of the bag. It also comes with a removable shoulder strap and plenty of pockets and interior space.

Satchels
One of the cutest satchels new this season from Steve Madden is the BSweet. This bag comes in a large barrel shape with double handles, shiny buckle detailing and can be bought in distressed black, wine or brown leather. It's the perfect city-chic designer bag that will go with all your daytime outfits. If you want a satchel that screams glamor, check out the BScrunch in either silver or black. This little satchel is ruffley and scrunchy and has two comfortable shoulder straps and zip top closure. It's the ideal bag to instantly dress up any pair of jeans or work wear.

Cross Body
The cross body is so hot for this season, and Steve Madden is ahead of the trend with their great line of designer bags. For a lovely weekend look, try the BMiniwe in either ivory, green or black. This little cross body has a woven look on the bottom half while the top is smooth and simple. It's roomy enough for your daily essentials and comfortable to wear draped across your body. It looks great with everything from jeans to summery dresses to playsuits. For a funky, bold look, go for the BMilly in black. This cross body is adorned with dozens of studs, extra long fringe and a super long shoulder strap. This is a great, trendy bag that will make you the envy of all your friends.
