Released in 2005, the Marc Jacobs Stam bag was named after model Jessica Stam and has become his most popular handbag for sale. Each year this bag is released in a variety of popular Spring and Fall colors for the given year. You better believe they added a tangerine color in the Spring 2012 collection.

If you have yet to notice, there are two very popular trends right now. One is the shoulder clutch, the other is mustard yellow. Rebecca Minkoff solves both these problems with her basic collection of bags. The shoulder clutch has proven to be an extremely handy piece to have in your closet. It gives just enough space for the basics, without having to lug around those massive handbags that us women have grown to love. Speaking as someone who loves the largest size handbag possible, I have to say, a shoulder clutch is quite refreshing to put my essentials in. Although, I always have a full purse waiting for me if I need it, since it is apparent I can’t travel lightly.

As for the mustard yellow, this color just seems to match with anything. It is also a little less loud than a tangerine, purple or neon green, but it still acts as a statement piece.

You wouldn’t want to have to retire some of your favorite threads because of one handbag!
