Red is a magic color. Red pumps, red lipstick, a red dress, and of course, a red handbag – these scarlet-hued add-ons can instantly turn a simple (lifeless) look from drab to fab.
It’s a failsafe, foolproof styling trick that goes way back; perhaps even as far as Cleopatra’s time.

And guess what? Sophia Bush was spotted using it yesterday, while the ‘One Tree Hill’ star was out shopping on Melrose Avenue.

She had on a very classic black jacket-on-jeans outfit, but she turned the look extra spicy by pairing it with a red shoulder bag.

See. Like we said earlier, a pop of red can easily hype up a look. And in Sophia’s case, she chose a very expensive Mulberry ‘Bryn’ bag to do the work.
Below is a closer look at Sophia’s ‘Bryn’ for you. It’s actually more orange-red than fire engine red in color. And like any other Mulberry bag, it also features the iconic Mulberry turn-lock closure:
Mulberry Bryn Textured-Leather Shoulder Bag, $1,100 to $1,350
The Bryn comes in two sizes and can range from $1,100 to $1,350 depending on the size.

On a side note, you don’t need to spend that much to get the pretty orange-red color. Here’s an alternative from Opening Ceremony that will only cost you half as much:
Opening Ceremony ‘L.A.’ Mini Shoulder Bag, $550
If it’s the silhouette you love and you don’t mind grabbing it in another color, you can actually go for Coach’s ‘Legacy Romy’ top handle instead. It looks almost like the Mulberry Bryn, only a LOT cheaper:
