You’ve got to love leather

If you believe the ultimate accessory is jewellery, think again. A good-quality handbag or wallet that won’t get worn easily is one of the ultimate investment pieces, especially if you can find an item that is on-trend and that bag is in a league of its own.

This summer and spring Jekyll & Hide is releasing classically crafted leather bags, purses, wallets and accessories for the modern woman.

Think contemporary, with a mix of natural.

As a nod to the current trend of all-season, genderless fashion, light colours and textures will accompany darker shades and thicker, more rugged weights.

These trends are embodied by the range, which includes both timeless pieces and cheeky modern offerings like banana-yellow purses, red-hot handbags and hipster crossover bags.

Here are four of our favourite pieces. – Adriaan Roets and Citizen reporter
