How to Accessorize Moroccan Leather Bags

Moroccan leather bags are great accessories for an earthy, Bohemian style.

A good Moroccan leather bag is like the little black dress of free-spirited accessories: classic, timeless, distinctive and doesn't need much styling to look great. Moroccan leather bags, often tooled with beautiful floral scripts, come in a variety of styles and shapes and are a distinctly Bohemian accessory, and should be paired with earthy clothes and jewelry that emulate the cosmopolitan vibe of Morocco.

Instructions

1. Plan for the weather. A Moroccan leather bag is great for those relaxed sunny days but can stick out in winter or in the rain. Save the leather bag for breezy, warm days.

2. Choose soft earth tones for your clothes when accessorizing with your Moroccan leather bag. Tonally, bright or neon colors will clash with the breezy, natural feeling of the leather. Try loose, flowing cotton skirts, linen pants, denim and patterned dresses. Patterns, especially earth-toned paisleys, in scarves or dresses are perfect when paired with the leather bag. Add a scarf to the bag itself to accessorize with your outfit.

3. Avoid showy or flashy jewelry. Simple silver jewelry like bangles, rings or hoop earrings can be a great addition to the outfit.

4. Keep footwear simple, too. Strappy woven sandals or leather boots work well, but stay away from shiny patent leather, sequins or bright colors.

5. Style your hair in loose waves or pull it back into a simple bun. Sunglasses and a little tan go really well with a leather bag, but if you don't like to tan, sweep some bronzer across your cheekbones and apply a nude lip gloss.
