MILAN, Nov 24, 2004/ FW/ --- You can only look at the Milanese for great accessories all the year round.

It is in their culture to walk down the via with the current season’s couture handbags and shoes.

No other group of people does it quite like the Milanese in style that is above being trendy.

The Italian designers have some of the most well designed and exquisite accessories of them all.

From Gucci to Prada, we are showing you what pump walks best, along with bags that will hold your money in them the longest.

These must have items can be in your closet in less than six months.

Designers next season will have you all over the color rainbow with their pastels bags and accessory pieces.

Miuccia Prada will be one of the color experts mixing pastel rainbow colors on sandals and bucket woven hats. Classic Prada American style penny loafers will be shocking in patent leather canary yellow and Crayola green.

A multi- colored mini duffle bag will be one of Prada’s strongest accessories.

Bottega Venetta is also doing their version of the mini duffle bag, but of course in brown crocodile skin….

Bottega Veneta is not fallen short this season with their fine line of leather goods.

Models are sporting oversized handbags in the softest leather in chocolate brown. Woven leather opened beach bags in maize will make the beach get warmer.

For the lady who will only come out at night, great bejeweled clutches will make that gown look ever more chic. By designing a cute kitten heel almost flat shoe as well as a great belted front strap stiletto sandal, Bottega is giving a selection of pumps.

Gianfranco Ferre is also doing a belted strap sandal, but with thicker straps that also adorn the ankle. .

Fendi is keeping it simple with small strap fan purses. A round open toe 50’s style polka dot sandal pump will be all the rage for them.

This same style pump is revamped in many other collections as well, so it is destined to be a hot item next season.

A frumpy mule slide-in by Fendi will be comfortable chic wear during the warmer weather here in Milan.

Missoni is swinging in the 50’s as well with a round toe pump that comes in tan, burgundy and pale yellow.

Going along with their fruit theme, they have designed a red apple-shape hand clutch purse. Along with many of their clutches, they have added a cute hand strap that gives the clutch bag a more casual feel.

A great skin or fur really has no in or out season. For this reason, you cannot miss out on Gucci’s crocodile skin bags in deep red and maize yellow.

You cannot miss out on Gucci’s classic black junk bag decorated with outer stitch seams with belt hole straps.

This bag comes in a variation of colors this season. Gucci is also opting out for a round toe pump instead of the conventional pointy toe.

Their 50’s round toe looks great with a spike heel.

Pucci

Emilio Pucci is always doing the most. With their signature psychedelic Pucci print on everything, it is hard for their designs to not stand out.

Unlike many designers this season, Pucci is giving us a wedge heel. Their wedge heels are at least amusing with cut outs on the heels also with cloth and rope ankle straps.

Pucci’s bag collection is all about fun. Oversized and often sporting a Pucci logo, they are gearing towards a younger market.

Roberto Cavalli's bag collection will be over decorated with tassels and coral straps that are low hung.

In Cavalli's diffusion line, Just Cavalli, a tambourine purse will be essential along with half calf cowgirl boots adorned with studs and gaudy jewels with a Cuban heel.

Antonio Berardi is getting into geometric shapes with his semi circle bag in white with bright orange trimming.

This same style bag is also in different sizes throughout his collection along with the same styling in different geometric shapes.

You can always count on Versace to give you top accessories in gold. The traditional gold Versace crest will be on small hand purses.

Donatella has outdone herself with the extra mini duffle junk bag that has link chain handles and ornamented with gold chains with shells hanging.

You can never have too many pumps, pearls and clutches. These are just a few great accessory pieces to get you warmed up for what is predicted to be a well-accessorized spring/summer...
