Orange Archive logo canvas tote, £210, by Burberry

The high-fashion answer to the mega-trend for canvas carriers, this is hip and witty — dig the modish misspelling of the brand name — and it’s light, obviously, and roomy, and I confess to feeling somewhat more modish than I have in some time while swinging it through Soho on my way to work. Not sure I’ll get the years of solid service out of it that I have from my trusty Vuitton bag, but that’s hardly the point, is it? One for a walk in the park or a stroll around a gallery, perhaps, rather than the year-round commute.
