There are some women who love shoes and others who love clothing.

Then there are others who just can't resist a gorgeous handbag.

Whether leather, suede, straw or canvas, some of us are just bag ladies.

If you happen to fall into that category, prepare to get giddy. With spring not too far away, it's time to start think purse trends and this season there are tons of good ones.

From colors of the moment to patches and embellishments galore, these are the 5 handbags you should definitely invest in this season.



Beige

Once the weather starts to warm, that's your cue to replace the black bag you've been carrying all winter with something lighter and more spring-appropriate.

The perfect neutral alternative? Beige, tan or nude! Not only will a beige handbag match with everything in your closet, but it will never go out of style so you can totally splurge.

One important note: invest in leather cleaner to spot clean as needed.


Green

Pantone recently named Greenery as the color of the year which means if there is one handbag you need for spring, it's a green one.

Worried you don't have anything that looks good with green?

Don't! The color is actually quite easy to match as it will work great with a tan trench coat, a pastel spring dress or even skinny jeans and white oxford shirt or lightweight sweater.

As for shoes, stick to neutrals.


Colorblock

When you can't decide on just one color for your new handbag, go with a bunch.

Colorblock is still a popular trend this season and nothing makes a bolder statement than a bright, colorblock handbag.

Because bigger isn't necessarily better, consider smaller silhouettes when shopping for a colorblock handbag and always keep your outfit simple and monochromatic.


Embellished

Texture was huge in fall and winter with a myriad of fur and shearling handbags.

This spring, texture will remain, only in the form of fun accents on classic leather bags.

Think jeweled embellishments, sewn-on floral details and studs and grommets.



Patches

Another take on the embellishment trend? Patches! Yes, similar to those iron-ons you stuck on your backpack as a child only cooler and more grown up.

Lots of designers are now selling patches that you can use to personalize luxe leather handbags to make them completely unique.
