The trophy bag is this season’s must-have accessory, and it’s a working girl’s dream come true. Big enough for your iPhone, laptop, reusable coffee cup, and beauty essentials – its wildly practical without sacrificing any of its fashion credentials.
In fact, a cult carry all is the ultimate 9-to-5 statement. Ladylike and business-like these carryall totes will see you from the office to the airport and somewhere swanky for lunch in-between.
Giambatista Valli
Louis Vuitton is constantly updating its iconic – aptly named – Neverfull, Dior’s now infamous Book tote is worth serious consideration, and then there’s Saint Laurent’s Niki or Manhattan – the options are endless. Proenza Schoulder and Giambattisa Valli also shower luggage-sized versions on the runway.
Lady Dior
Like everything else you wear, your bag requires attention. If anything, daily use means it has to work harder than the rest of your wardrobe, as well as being more adaptable. And while some shapes and styles come and go – croissants and baguettes for example – a big, boxy, classic tote is loyal long after the sun sets on the season. So, if you feel the need to rebel against micro bags or unaccommodating box clutches, a carryall is the answer. We’ve edited autumn winter’s offerings down to the top 10. Choose wisely, this is an investment that will stand the test of time.
