Balenciaga. Look no further than Balenciaga’s much talked about Bazar shopper in soft lambskin for all your totting needs. The bag, which is inspired by traditional paper bags sold in eastern markets, can fit just about everything from laptops to makeup cases and much more.
Blugirl. This delicately woven bag might be better suited for the weekend but who can deny its earthy charm? Packing a light lunch on your way to the beach or stacking up on old literary classics from your newly discovered bookstore is made blissfully simple by its roomy interior.
Céline. No brand better encompasses street style and high fashion than Celine, and this oversized accessory carries it all. Plush leather complements just about every conceivable daywear option while the touch of gold keeps it from appearing like a basic tote bag.
JW. Anderson A squarer version of the label’s bucket bag, this fiery red leather shopper is easy on the shoulders and offers an elegant option to traditional bag handles. The messenger style strap is accented by gold hardware that makes it both day and evening appropriate.
Loewe. A style that encompasses a traveller’s aesthetic but fulfils a city dweller’s needs, Loewe’s new season carry all is constructed in plush leather, which expands to fit all your essentials. The detachable shoulder strap also makes the perfect addition for days when it is simply too heavy to carry via handles.
Maison Margiela. A strong contender for work appropriate bags everywhere, Maison Margiela’s 5AC bag with brown braided details speaks the language of business and is roomy enough for iPads, folders and all your makeup

We bid adieu to big bags in early 2000 only to joyfully welcome them back into our accessory closets in the New Year. Yes, the SS17 runways were full of styles that perfectly celebrated the notion of extra-space for the modern woman’s essentials. But this time around, a strong sense of minimalism cemented these bags as the essential daywear companion or (alternatively) weekend essential. Here, we look to our favourite styles.
