The New It Color: Cobalt Blue

Spring 2009 is just around the corner! It won't be long now before all the new handbags for Spring will be hitting the store shelves. It seems that a lot of trends from Fall 2008 will be carrying over into the new year. As I have been browsing around, however, it appears that a new color may be rising to the top of everyone's want lists very soon. I just have two words for all you bagistas out there: Cobalt Blue. It has been sprouting up within the collections of several designers lately. And the girls over at TBF? Well, quite frankly, some of them are just plain batty for this color. Could Cobalt Blue be our next Dark Purple? Only time will tell! If you ask me though, this color definitely has the potential to become something BIG. And why not? It is absolutely gorgeous! Here are a few bags I found that are currently available in this vibrant shade of blue:

Rebecca Minkoff Nikki Hobo - $600
It's big, soft, and ultra slouchy! The Nikki has been a long time favorite of bagistas everywhere!
Available exclusively at Luna Boston.

Marc Jacobs Jen Bag - $775
Classic shape meets eye popping color! Who says a chic bag isn't meant to turn heads?
Check it out at Net-a-Porter

Nancy Gonzalez Flap Shoulder Bag - $2,950
Ready for a (mega) splurge? Nancy Gonzalez has just the bag for you!
Find it at Saks Fifth Avenue

Definitely, right now I am obsessing over this color!!

But when spring rolls around, I'm predicting I will be carrying alot of orange and yellow.

I've never owned a Cobalt blue bag but I am loving the blues on the Nikki and the MJ and I really love the new LV Vernis Blue!!

I adore cobalt blue. I have a Linea Pelle dylan bowler in blue and it rocks.

Hey Jennifer, somehow "Rebecca Minkoff Nikki Hobo" was erased from the post over on Bag Bliss. Not sure how that happened. LOL!

I love this color, awesome post BRS!

I love blue. I am totally craving a piece of the LV vernis in the new Galactic blue. Doubt I will get one - I want a Sprouse pochette and that comes first!!

Yes, this color is fantastic!!! It is hard to find a color that can go all year round!

Human error

I see you fixed it! Thanks Jennifer!

I wish I could get something in this color. I already have a turquoise bag though.

I love this color!! It's one of the best blue shades out there.

I am completely obsessed with Jess & Jennifer's cobalt blue nikki. I think I need one! I think it's the best color on a nikki, imo.
