Disclosure: Ad. The green Florentine leather crossbody bag is a sample given to me by Uno Alla Volta for review. The post is not endorsed by them. I wrote it entirely myself. It represents my thoughts and expresses my 100% honest opinion.
I love this beautiful green Uno Alla Volta Florentine leather crossbody bag
I received this bold green saddlebag for review. Yes, this great green beauty from Uno Alla Volta is perfect for adding a pop of color to a neutral color outfit like the black one or the burgundy and animal print one in this post. The bold colored bag is the perfect statement piece to make an entrance! I am in color crush mode!

However, just using this beauty for a pop of color would waste a lot of opportunities for great outfits. It would under-use the potential of this great bag. A bold color bag can do so much more for your wardrobe. Just integrate it in the look and make the colors of the outfit the statement. In other words, go for a colorful look. Dive into color crush.
Tip: Use a color bag for more than a pop of color. Make the colors of the outfit your statement.

You can wear color over 40
Let’s travel down the road of color crush. I love colors like the next gal and nobody can talk me out of wearing colors just because I am over 50. A bold colored bag looks great with a print dress, print top, print skirt and even color blocked separates. You can create so much interest when you add a bold colored bag to an outfit. Don’t you think so?

Stylist’s secret to style a bold color bag
Here is the secret how to make it work: Repeat the color of the bag in the outfit. It the case of prints, ground the outfit with a solid piece in the color that is dominant in or is the “background” of the print.
Tip: Ground your prints with a solid color.
Styling inspirations with a bold color bag
Let me explain how these tips play out by reviewing the outfit photos. In the outfit with the pants, the grounding color is burgundy and the green of the artisan handmade Italian leather shoulder bag from Uno Alla Volta repeats in the print of the top. In the look with the dress, the winter white of the “background” of the print and the jacket serve to ground the outfit. The color of the Florentine shoulder bag is repeated in the abstract print of the dress and ear studs.

A colorful statement bag works for many occasions
This bold green bag is also great for visiting open air concerts and festivals as it also works well as a cross-body bag (see photo where I twirl). I used to have a small bag in this style, when I was in my twenties that I wore at such events. However, in contrast to that bag back then, this new Uno Alla Volta green bag is hand-made of great quality leather with a nice fabric lining inside and a zipper pocket. This means items like credit cards and a phone are well secured.

What I love about this Uno Alla Volta Florentine Leather Crossbody Bag
This Artisans-made bag closes easily with a magnet. Therefore, no buckling and unbuckling needed! This means you can get the phone out before it switches to leaving a message.

Why this shoulder purse is a Must-have
This Florentine shoulder bag was made by sister artisans Alessandra and Elisabetta, the same ladies also crafted the suede clutch/purse that I reviewed some time ago. I love a bold colored bag, especially, when the bag is so stunning, high quality and affordable. Therefore, I am a big fan of their purses, totes and clutches, and can only recommend them.

Uno Alla Volta has bags in all colors of the rainbow
When you like the idea of a pop of color or integrating a colored bag into your outfit, you will love to hear that Uno Alla Volta also offers color bags in other styles. These styles include suede bucket bags with a tassel in a contrasting color, bags with bamboo handles, structured handbags, and bucket bag. Check them out to find your perfect color and style.
