Strap Happy Handbags

So, we've noticed a bit of a trend lately... handbags with cuffs, belts, and straps.  Perhaps it's so that us busy women can just strap on a bag and not have to worry about it the rest of the day?  Or, perhaps designers want to lock us into our bags so we don't lose these expensive treasures?  Whatever the reason, you might want to strap one on today.  Here's a sampling:

1.  The Handcuff Handbag

Ever been arrested?  Nope, me neither.  However, if you want to "do time" with your clutch, here's just the bag for you:

Forgot your belt at home?  No problemo!  Just grab one from your handbag and you'll be good to go!

3.  The Strapped on Handbag

In case you're afraid you might lose your handbag, it might be best to strap it on.  That way, you won't have to worry about setting it down and forgetting it (like you'd forget your $1000+ bag, but just in case...)
