Graphite calfskin-deerskin tote, £945, by Boss

Not the most pulse quickening of the six, perhaps. But certainly the most practical option. It easily had room for my laptop, paperwork, stationery, spectacles, paperback and the rest of the rubbish I cart around with me. There’s something about a tote, though. You can’t close it. Which seems odd. What if it rains? What about thieves? What if you want to carry something you don’t want others to see? Like, for example, a kilo of primo cocaine? (See the Pickett attaché.)
