Now THIS is what I’m talking about. I love an oversized bag to work in the day and this Hastings Bowling Bag is right on the fashion money for next season.

With its stand out style and rich burgundy leather this is a definitely must-have. Not only can you slip it in the crook of your elbow, its across-the-body strap will allow you to work it in a much more laid back manner. Its sumptuous gold branded hardware compliments the rich burgundy tone, and will work effortlessly against the new season’s statement outerwear and texture play mishmash ensembles.

There’s also a lot of bag here for the money (a not so hefty price tag of £299) which is a rare, if delightful, treat. It’s also got versatility on its side. Work it as that over-night bag for that weekend trip to Paris, and feel that whatever you’re wearing and wherever you are, you’re bound to look practical yet extremely stylish.

The Hastings Bowling Bag will definitely be hitting my handbag wish-list for next season. Which number will it be on yours?
