Michael Kors collections always seem to hit the spot for me. There’s just something about his luxe, tailored pieces that just breathe style and effortless chic. My attraction to this tote, therefore, doesn’t surprise me at all. For me, this Michael Michael Kors Brown Hamilton Tote would be the perfect day bag to hold in the crook of your arm (just as the fashion-pack are doing so these days).

Tan leather enables one to easily achieve a glossy finish to any ensemble, whether you’re dealing with stark monochrome, an array of bright colour, or even A/W’11’s fabulous jewel tones. And, clearly, this tote is ideal for city girls. It’s roomy, versatile (with its across-the-body strap) and classic in shape and structure. Its New Yorker styling will have you reaching for your credit card and manically elbowing your way to the shop counter (because you can be sure that there is going to be a healthy rush for this little number).

For me, therefore this is a definite MUST-HAVE. It’s got all the characteristics of a tote that I look for. Tan? Check. Roomy? Check. Leather? Check. Gold-tone hardware? Check. And the fact that it’s designed by Michael Kors is just an added bonus (a big bonus at that). And the price-tag? Good grief it’s literally a bargain! £300 for a designer classic? Where’s my purse?

You heard it here first: get it before it goes. Michael Michael Kors Brown Hamilton Tote, £300, available from my-wardrobe.
