Bohochic purses are all the rage.

Boho style takes center stage this season with multiple designers making not-so-subtle references to the ‘70s.

Peasant blouses, tie-dyed, shoulder-baring maxis, lace-up sandals and patterned palazzo pants are just some of the hippie-inspired fashions gracing the racks of stores this summer.

Tempted to add some boho to your mojo, but not entirely ready to let your freak flag fly? Snagging a boho-chic purse is a safe way to hitch a ride toward this colorful trend.

From fringed cross body bags to saddle bags with embroidered floral straps to raffia clutches sprinkled with rainbow colored pom-poms, these statement-making handbags are no longer on the fringe of fashion.
