Once upon a time the most covetable handbags came with price tags to make you weep, and while some of us may still swoon over designer army candy, what you can find on the high street these days is equally tempting.
Forget the plasticy faux stuff: M&S and Massimo Dutti make theirs in top-notch suede and leather, soft as anything you can spend three figures on. Mango and & Other Stories are particularly good for trend-nodding styles with an upmarket finish. For an investment piece, head to Me+Em: its accessories certainly aren’t cheap, but they are lovely — and look like the sort you’ll have for a very long time.
When handbag shopping, what’s currently cool only takes you so far. You need to find a style that works — and has capacity — for your life. Still, a few suggestions as to what feels right for now: slouchy hobo totes, bucket bags, raffia (now the sun is making an appearance) and animal print. That’s any animal print, by the way: python, zebra, leopard — you can’t go wrong.
