8 Double-bagging it

The whole handbag malarky has been getting confusing recently. One season the luxury brands tell us it’s about the micro bag, the next it’s about the bag so massive you could lose a small child in it. Fact is, most of us need a bit of both, which is why my investment arm candy is aspinal’s essential Tote. It enables you to lug in lots of stuff in the morning, and then divest yourself of the majority of it, and just carry the matching purse to a lunch. Clever. £250, available in assorted colours, aspinaloflondon.com
