We knew designer tote bags were going to be a thing back in January when Net-a-Porter revealed it had bought heavily into totes; in particular, Chloé’s Woody tote, which has sold out twice since landing earlier this spring. That, however, was only the beginning. Over the past few months, Loewe’s bright baskets have been glued to the arms of the industry’s most adept dressers, while Dior’s canvas style has become something of a status symbol, too, confirming that polished tote bags are undoubtedly having a moment. That said, it’s not all about straw and canvas—large leather totes are on the up, with Dragon Diffusion and Bottega Veneta’s woven iterations also proving popular fashion circles. So there really is a designer tote bag to suit you, whatever...

Marks and Spencer has long been our go-to when outfitting our lingerie drawers. Lately, however, we find ourselves gravitating toward its handbag department to see its offering of arm candy, which continuously impresses us. As we speak, the handbag section is stocked with some of the sleekest crossbodies, top-handles and totes we’ve seen in a long while, in every fabric from premium leather to trending canvas and quintessential straw for summer. To save you the time of scrolling through the entire site, we’ve rounded up 20 of the best Marks and Spencer handbags for you here. So keep scrolling to uncover your new carryall.

For a while now, we’ve been witness to Spanish heritage brand Loewe’s growing influence in the fashion world. Since Brit Jonathan Anderson’s appointment as creative director in 2013, the whole line has become more and more covetable but especially the bags (oh, the bags!). He’s been credited for the revival of this luxury brand, which was originally founded in 1846 (yes, you read that right) and has been favoured by the likes of Sophia Loren and Marlene Dietrich over the years. Iconic, right? But it’s Anderson’s modern twists on classics that we’ve come to love. After all, his raffia logo totes are basically responsible for the basket-bag phenomenon that has been all over Instagram the past few summers.

From Dior’s saddlebag to Chanel’s timeless 2.55, there’s no shortage of cult favourites when it comes to handbags. For many women, a designer bag is the ultimate fashion investment and often becomes the item that is worn and cherished most within our wardrobes. While I have lofty dreams about one day owning a coveted Hermès Birkin or investing in an of-the-moment Prada Cleo bag, I also find myself wondering, Which bags are other women interested in? More specifically, what’s trending among the style set in London right now?  As luck would have it, a few weeks back, I was able to discover my answer. Tasked with street style–spotting on East London’s Broadway Market for another article, I came across several chic resi...

I enjoy the romantic aesthetic of a basket bag as much as the next #cottagecore fan, and no one can deny the everlasting allure of the now-classic raffia versions from Loewe. However, when it comes to practicality during the warmer months I’m often drawn to a similar-but-different alternative; The canvas tote has become my desired carry-all for summer 2021, because when it comes to schlepping around—of which I will be doing a great deal—this offers a very chic way to do it.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Chloé has form when it comes to created covetable bags. There’s the Paddington, the Marcie, and the fairly recent C bag and now there’s a new one set to take the crown as the most popular Chloé bag—the Kiss. First spotted on the fashion house’s spring/summer 2021 runway, the Kiss is an elegant bag that comes in a variety of muted tones as well as a bold green (one of 2021’s hottest hues), black and yellow.  Flashy isn’t a word I’d ever use to describe my wardrobe. Sure, I’ll wear sequins around Christmas and I have nothing against lurex or bright colours but on the whole, I keep things fairly simple. It’s why, then, that Chloé’s latest It bag has caught my eye. It comes in a few different styles; a small version, the hobo or t...

Be it Bottega Veneta, Chloé, Hermès, The Row or Chanel, we spend a good amount of our time swooning over designer handbags. While our arm-candy allowance isn’t quite what we’d like it to be, we never feel that we’re missing out, mainly because there are so many affordable handbag brands that are creating bags just as covetable as those with four-figure price tags.  Still, the word “affordable” is hard to pinpoint. For one person, it might be £30 spent on the high-street. For another, it could be an excellent charity shop find that rings in at £5. And, for some, it could be something as high as £300. We think, however, for something such as a bag to be deemed affordable, it all comes down to how much you’ll actually use it.  You Deserv...

If there’s one accessory that epitomises the ’90s, it’s surely the baguette bag. Just one glimpse at its teeny proportions and dainty shoulder strap will take you thundering down memory lane to a time when jeans were low-slung and crop-tops were in plentiful supply. For me, the trend has connotations of chick-flick heroines, glamazon girl-band members and, well, Regina George. As an accessory, it certainly had a particular ‘look’ attached to it.

Sifting through all the glorious newness that the spring and summer runways brought us not too long ago felt like such a breath of fresh air (especially compared to the stuffiness of the same boring sweat outfit I have been wearing on repeat since, oh, I don’t know, March last year?). So far, we’ve reported on the biggest spring trends overall, the biggest accessories trends, and the biggest shoe trends, and today, we’re here to hone in a bit tighter and share with you the most important handbag trends of 2021. At this point, who really knows how often we will be relying on our handbags as much as we used to? But if I know you all like I think I do, it’s safe to assume that no matter what the new norm ends up being, buying cute accessories will always...

As the bags touched down on Net-a-Porter last week, senior market editor Libby Page has this to say about the shopping behemoth’s latest recruit: “New York brand Savette debuted their luxury handbag collection this season, and we envisage they will be a highlight for us this spring. All Savette pieces are produced in Italy, bringing together the traditional artisanal leathercraft and modernist sculptural forms. A year in the making, the first collection has an overall refined aesthetic. Our favourite is the multifunctional box bag in tan—she has modernised this classic handbag shape and made it suitable for any occasion.” Page’s last words (“for any occasion”) resonate with us. If the last year has taught us anything, it’s to not save our...

Raffia tote bags have been a hallmark of the quintessential summer wardrobe for decades. From Brigitte Bardot to Kate Moss and Alexa Chung, over the years, many stylish women have chosen the item for beach days, park picnics and beyond.  However, while the carryall has typically held an under-the-radar, effortless kind of appeal, last year raffia tote bags became quite the It item thanks to Spanish luxury brand, Loewe. Featuring an adjustable leather handle and the brand’s instantly recognisable insignia, Loewe’s raffia totes bags became somewhat ubiquitous amongst the fashion set. From Camille Charriere to Pernille Teisbeak, the item (which is available in various colours and sizes) graced my Instagram feed more times than I co...

Our editorial team is fast-forwarding to spring already. We are completely and utterly done with puffer coats and chunky boots for now—thank you very much. So it is rather fortuitous that the latest Who What Wear Collection drop of bags and shoes has arrived at Zalando (and soon to Kurt Geiger) to help us skip straight into the new season. While we may not be able to legitimately frolic around in a floaty dress or consider wearing minis quite yet, it is possible to switch up accessories in order to feel like our outfits have been suitably revamped with spring in mind. You may or may not know, but these drops are based on editor-driven trend picks, and rather than providing every single shoe or bag style known on earth, it’s about a concise curation. You’ll only find t...
