THE LEATHER ALL-ROUNDER
Leather tote, £245, lkbennett.com
L: 34cm, H: 27cm, D: 6.3cm
This sleek oxblood bag is crafted in italy from 100 per cent leather and certainly looks the part — however, its compartments fall a little short.
Everything fits comfortably in except the laptop, which is just too tall and wide for the bag’s structured frame. The tote itself is extremely practical with three separate compartments for your phone and a built-in cardholder.
however, the premium leather does mean it’s heavy — and the top handles are just a little too short to wear over your shoulder.
STYLE RATING: 10/10 There’s no argument this is a gorgeous, classic bag.
PRACTICAL RATING: 6/10 Just slightly too small for that laptop.
COMFORT RATING: 5/10 The stiff straps won’t bend easily.
