Laura | Co-founder & CCO
“If I could choose any handbag this season, it would be the Jackie. Its design has endured for over six decades while continuing to embody timeless elegance. I’m certain its appeal will never fade.”
Petro | Co-founder & COO
“I’ve been looking for that classic investment black bag for the last couple of years (my last was a Gucci Marmont ten years ago). I think I’ve found it: the Prada Dada—roomy but not too oversized. It has everything going for it, from the elegant, timeless shape to the subtle belted detailing that gives it a point of difference. It also comes in five classic shades.”
Des | Senior Contributing Fashion Editor
“Is there anything chicer than a midnight-blue suede bag? My wardrobe mainly consists of black, and I love the subtle combination when black is paired with navy—it just adds that little extra something to an outfit. Structured, spacious and multi-functional, this Métier tote ticks all the boxes.”
Fenella | Acting Fashion Director
“Burgundy is everywhere this autumn–winter and surprisingly versatile. I’m especially loving this woven tote—oversized enough to hold all my workwear essentials (and there are plenty!). It pairs beautifully with navy and soft neutrals, making it the perfect seasonal accessory to update my office outfits.”
Emma | Head of Partnerships
“My autumn–winter colour palette tends to be quite neutral, so a pop of vampire red will bring all my outfits to life. Luckily, I don’t commute with a laptop, so this fits my A5 diary and has the multitude of handy internal pockets you’d expect from an Anya Hindmarch bag.”
Grace | Social Media Assistant
“I love the richness of this chocolate-brown tote; I know it will complement the neutral and denim tones I already have in my wardrobe, while fitting in all of my work essentials.”
Phoebe | Social Media Manager
“This is everything I need in a work bag on the go: waterproof fabric, an easy shoulder strap, and plenty of pockets for all my ‘just-in-case’ essentials. Plus, it has a handy sleeve at the back that slips neatly over a cabin bag.”
Alex | Creative Assets Coordinator
“I’ve been on the hunt for a work bag that’s easy on my shoulder when I’m carrying camera gear to the office. I love this one’s thick strap, and I know the neutral colour will go with everything in my wardrobe.”
Elizabeth | Junior Content Writer
“A work bag should be versatile and durable, which is why a black leather bag will always be my top choice. Coach is having a moment right now, and the Brooklyn Bag is at the top of my list—roomy enough for a laptop, yet sleek enough for the office.”
Claudia | SEO E-Commerce Specialist
“I picked this Ralph Lauren suede bag in camel because it feels easy and relaxed — almost like a bucket bag but without the stiff structure. It looks chic but not too formal, and even though it’s quite compact, it still fits everything I need for the office: my agenda, phone, keys, and wallet.”
Lily | Fashion Newsletter Editor
“As the team’s edit proves, chocolate-brown suede is here to stay. I’m drawn to the minimalist, unstructured shape of this Toteme bag, complete with an adjustable strap. Spacious yet refined, it’s the kind of piece that carries all my daily essentials—and still feels effortless.”
