Smart sale-shoppers will know that now is the time to get those big-ticket items for less, such as your next forever bag. But even though prices are lower, the same rules apply; it has to be a timeless addition you’ll reach for in years to come. Eschew faddy ‘It’ bags, opting instead for versatile colourways and classic silhouettes with minimal hardware. Look outside the season, too. Perennially stylish totes in raffia, wicker, canvas or beading are pieces that can be added to your summer box and enjoyed as soon as the sunshine hits.
