I always switch to a different everyday bag when fall arrives, since my purse is my one essential day-to-day companion. The cool air just seems to call out for accessories in richer colors or textures than the spring and summer.
In stores, you may notice that commercial handbag-makers are featuring a variety of trends this season: cross-body straps, saturated colors, stripes, bold prints, and petite profiles. Here are five bag patterns that fit the bill:

The Textured Bag is made of roving wool, the stuff you use if you are felting something. What will happen if it gets wet – won’t it felt?

Hi Linlal, sorry for any confusion. “Roving” is loose fiber used in needle felting and for spinning your own yarn. “Martha Stewart Crafts Roving Wool” is the name of this particular yarn, a pencil roving (single ply) yarn. Like other wool yarns, it’s not just water that makes the yarn felt, it is heat and agitation applied when wet. As long as you follow the care instructions of the yarn (hand-wash cool, lay flat to dry), the Roving Wool yarn should be just fine. Hope that helps!
