Move over, kelly green, your replacement has arrived. While the saturated shade of green has been reigning supreme across clothing and accessories for the past few years, I can confidently say that there's a new It color in town, and it couldn't be any fresher. Shades of aqua, turquoise, and cerulean are quickly gaining traction, and as we've already noted, the electric shade of blue was featured prominently on the fall 2022 runways. But nowhere else is the new hue quite as exciting as in the handbag section.

Yep, blue purses are about to be everywhere very soon. The runways may be pointing to the rise of cerulean blue in ready-to-wear, but according to the luxury market, it's all about wearing the color via your bag of choice. It bags leading the trend include the Balenciaga Le Cagole, Jacquemus Le Vague, Dior Lady, and Bottega Veneta Jodie bags, which are all newly offered in the eye-catching color.

Continue on to shop one of the dozens of blue purses on the market right now, from luxury It bags to equally cool but more affordable options.
