There are plenty of legitimate ways to celebrate a new season, but over the past couple years, it seems like handbag brands have come to a tentative agreement that their favorite way to do it is with a new print. It gives consumers' favorite bags a sense of seasonality that a new release of colors doesn't quite capture, and it creates a de facto limited edition that feels urgent.

Louis Vuitton launched its summer prints a couple days ago, and they're definitely warm weather appropriate. The spots and palm fronds splash across monogram canvas and vernis leather bags and luggage, as well as some small leather goods and scarves. The bright primary colors lighten up the normally heavy feel of the monogram canvas, which is perfect for summer. Check out Vuitton's lookbook below.

Louis Vuitton is in an interesting spot right now. Even though the brand has long wanted to put more of an emphasis on its leather goods and deflect a bit of attention from its iconic monogram and Damier canvases, monograms are gaining popularity, and now it has to find a way to both stoke its leather business and capitalize on a conflicting trend in which it already fits perfectly.

On the whole, Vuitton is doing a strong job in finding new ways to use its monogram, and one of those is with new, slightly more subtle versions like the Monogram Eclipse that debuted at the brand's Fall 2016 men's show in Paris. The greyscaled version was developed under the oversight of men's creative director Kim Jones, and it provides a muted, sporty option for those who aren't into the traditional brown.

The collection also included navy and olive leather, plus some new bag shapes; one of particular note reminds me a lot of a luxury leather version of the canvas messengers Manhattan bike couriers frequently use. You can check out all the show's accessories below.

The Marc Jacobs show is always the biggest event of New York Fashion Week, and the designer closed out the season on Thursday with a memorable show full of, among other things, a brand new flap shoulder bag in a zillion different embellishments, from beautiful to beautifully irreverent.

The collection's featured bag was similar to the Fendi Baguette in structure, with a wide, rectangular body, half flap closure with signature central hardware and a short shoulder strap. The designer showed several plain leather versions of the bag, but the real stars of the show were the heavily embellished, often exotic versions that most models carried. Some of the bags sported sequined pill bottles and Mickey Mouses (Mickey Mice?), among other things, while others were more traditionally adorned.

The bags were fun, but the shoulder straps struck me as too short; I'm not sure that consumers are looking for purses that sit that high under the arm. The bags would feel a bit more modern with a longer strap and likely play better to the shopping audience, but we'll have to wait and see what becomes available in stores in a few months.

When a new season's collections start to arrive in stores, there are a handful of brands whose pre-orders we always look out for, and Fendi is high on that list. The brand has been on a hot streak over the past few years, and based on the Fendi Pre-Fall 2015 pre-orders that have just popped up at both Bergdorf Goodman and Saks, things aren't going to cool down any time soon.

Fendi's new collection is full of exuberant colors in interesting combinations, as well as the irreverent monster motifs that have become the brand's recent calling cards. There aren't many major shape debuts to be found for Pre-Fall 2015; instead, the brand has stuck with fan favorites like the Peekaboo and Petite 2Jours and 3Jours. There are also lots of fun Bag Bugs and small accessories, of course.

Below, take a look at our favorites from the new arrivals. To shop the full selections, head over to Bergdorf Goodman and Saks.
