Blue leather Voyage Epi pochette, £650, by Louis Vuitton

A sort of gentleman’s clutch, this is an accessory for a man who has ascended to a higher state of modern masculinity than I. Perfect for a night out in a trendy boîte when all you want to carry is fags, phone and house keys (and head full of shattered dreams). Not so great for the harried exec on the 07.48 from Acton Central. Cool colour combo, though. I know a number of younger, cooler men — and women — who would look terrifically sexy porting this about.
