There’s no half measures with this season’s bags - it’s bold and bright all the way. From Burberry’s raffia carry-all and Prada’s mustang clutches to Givenchy’s exotic florals, it’s prints galore. Alternatively (or in addition) you can add a head-turning hit of colour with a bold and bright bag. Whether you opt for sugary pastel hues or colour-popping neon Kurt Geiger is leading the field…
Size wise, it’s all about the clutch, or the new season’s re-incarnation; the grab-bag. See Chloe, 3.1 Phillip Lim and Valentino for a lesson in how to carry these, and don’t just keep them to cocktail hour, it’s all about wearing a casual clutch during the day.
Finally, sporty urban bags in smooth polished leather are popular once again. While at the other end of the spectrum are Louis Vuitton and Prada’s 50s inspired ladylike bags. Pretty, feminine and retro in subtle candy colours, these bags are going to be hard to find on the high street but are simply divine. And if none of those take your fancy, Katie Hillier’s latest collection for Victoria Beckham is sure to revive your spring wardrobe.
