The Bags You Need To Be Shopping Now for the Holiday Season

When it comes to holiday shopping, even with the best intentions, there never seems to be enough time to find just the right thing for everyone on your list. And while it may feel like fall has just arrived (because it has!) the holidays sneak up right around the corner. It's never too early to keep an eye out for the perfect gift.

With more and more people shopping online, why not start early to make sure you're able to secure the perfect item before it sells out? And what is that perfect item? We may be a bit biased, but we think a 100% genuine leather handbag makes a top notch gift for just about anyone.

At Latico Leathers, you can find totes that you can carry everything in, whether that be to the grocery store, up the block or out of town. Or for the person always on the move, go hands free with a crossbody bag or a high-quality leather backpack. Jump start your holiday shopping now with our early sneak peek at Latico Leather's holiday preview to see what you might be missing after it sells out this season.

We're starting this round up strong with our Beth tote and crossbody. A mix of boho and sophisticated, this big bag is effortlessly chic for even the pickiest of gift getters. A perfect fit for your mom, girlfriend, fiancée or maybe even an early holiday present for yourself... Designed with beautiful details like softly woven macrame facade, you'll be wondering why you didn't find this sooner. Beth also comes with an exterior back wall zip and two open slit pockets for easy access in this large handbag.

The Cooper crossbody is the sleek bag that will make everyone believe that good things really do come in small packages. With a slim profile, this crossbody can be worn handheld with rounded and lightly padded handles or as a crossbody with an adjustable strap. Carry on your arm for a great shopping companion. The outside leather is hand-crafted with star stitch detail that will impress year-round. Go for a bright pop of orange for your social butterfly bestie or a subtle oxblood for the sophisticated city girl.

If you liked our Beth crossbody, but are looking for something a little more compact, we've designed the Deja crossbody in a just smaller size. With the same hand-crafted detailing, the Deja comes in a medium size so you can downsize after your commute for the same impressive design you love. Coming in three classic colors of black, burgundy, and charcoal, you'll have your pick on timeless hues to compliment any style.

Deja makes an ideal gift for the person who values high quality and always pays attention to the details with the hand-crafted front facade. (Plus, you can feel extra good about your purchase knowing Latico gives 10 meals to Feeding America for every handbag sale).

A little bit sassy, a whole lot of style, the Frisco crossbody is the perfect gift for your sister, aunt or best friend who is the life of the party. Get her a crossbody that finally stands next to her personality and complements her authentic style thanks to the fringe of the Frisco. With a nod to 70's style, the Frisco is a functional and fun companion that you can carry by its handles or shoulder strap. Plus, it includes our signature cell phone pocket so you can party on without worrying about losing contact. Simply groovy.

If you like lots of options to choose from for your gifting pleasure, look no further than the Margie Tote. Coming in nineteen gorgeous leather hues like cinnamon, cobra and bubble black, you'll find a Margie tote fit for everyone on your list. This is our number one rated bag to gift for a reason. Effortless, classic, and unstructured, the Margie is made with our buttery-soft leather and is versatile enough to be packed flat or rolled to travel. Designed to fit up to a 13" laptop, you can pack for work or pleasure with this all-in-one leather tote.

Our Palm Springs crossbody packs a punch with its playful, leather fringe detailing. This fun handbag easily fits a cell phone, even with a thick case. Its side zip entry doubles as a shoulder strap so you can feel confident this versatile bag will be a showstopper for even your most no-frills, function-first friends. Well-suited for short errands, quick trips out and nights around the city, feel confident with Palm Springs at your side.

If you're holiday shopping for your dad, guy friend or brother, we highly recommend the Austin sling bag. While gender neutral so anyone can wear this leather pack, it makes a great gift for the men in your life when they need a bit more room than just their wallet. Austin sling is a lightweight, hands-free bag that includes two zippered compartments so not everything falls out when reaching inside. With its adjustable strap, wear this leather bag as an over the shoulder or crossbody bag. Perfect for the hikers, adventurers and explorers that are hard to pin down!

Last but not least, our final holiday preview pick is the classic Basil crossbody. Fit all your essentials for every day in this 100% leather bag. Your fashionista friend or family member will be impressed with the beautifully crafted, hand-braided leather on the Basil. And a bonus- it's front flap doubles as a storage pocket with its unexpected, zippered front. This bag also makes a great gift for that person you know who's always on-the-go and needs to travel light.
