Be it a bargain or blow out purchase, orange is everywhere you look and the humble handbag is the easiest way to channel the trend. In the period between New Year and March everyone is watching their pennies, so getting on top of the trend circuit can prove a bit tricky. However, this is nothing a sprinkle of creative genius can’t fix; introducing the transitional handbag.
The NICA Alicia satchel is a snip at £55, you can dress it down with a peter pan collared blouse and skinnies or come sundown liven the look up with a patterned tea dress and flatforms.
Alternatively, if you’re searching for a bag which will last the long haul, you’d be hard pressed to find a more covetable investment buy than the Modalu Buckingham Bowling Bag in paprika. Made from the finest soft-grain leather and branded with a de-bossed Modalu crest, you’ll make a statement, ooze sophistication and turn heads with this ‘IT’ bag wonder.
