The doctor bag is having a moment and this might be my favourite version. 🀎 Vintage-inspired, slightly slouchy and very Miu Miu β€” one of those bags that makes a simple autumn outfit look instantly intentional. British Vogue specifically selects the ...

Big bags are officially back and I’m here for it. πŸ˜‚ The Rodeo has that relaxed, lived-in luxury feel while actually having room for your life. One of the key oversized shoulder-bag shapes for AW26.

Apparently clutches aren't just for dinner anymore. πŸ‘€ Soft, oversized and designed to work in the daytime too β€” Bottega's Giorno is basically the dream version of AW26's new everyday clutch trend. British Vogue names the Giorno as its representative...

Long, sleek and just a little bit dramatic. The east-west bag isn't going anywhere for AW26 and the Simona is one of the season's statement versions. The zebra print is VERY fashion-editor autumn. πŸ¦“

Proof that a trend bag doesn't need to cost thousands. The Brooklyn has that soft, effortless shape that works perfectly with the AW26 move towards relaxed half-moon bags β€” and it still feels wearable long after the trend moves on. British Vogue incl...

This feels SO right for autumn. 🀎 The mix of smooth leather and warm brown suede gives the classic Coach Tabby a richer, more seasonal feel, while the structured shape and gold hardware keep it polished. I love that you can switch between the chain ...

s it practical? Absolutely not. Is it a £735 resin pigeon that secretly opens into a clutch bag? Yes. 🀣 AW26 has plenty of beautiful sensible bags, so obviously I had to include one completely ridiculous conversation piece. Fashion is supposed to be...

A little pop of colour for a rainy autumn day πŸ’• I love the bright Fraser Pink against the traditional check β€” it feels playful, very Vivienne Westwood and completely different from all the brown and burgundy bags around for A/W. Wear it as a clutch ...
