Top notch: 7 totes with a vaguely vintage feel
Time to get a handle on this season’s most coveted bag. The top strap on these totes – sometimes doubled-up – add character and a vaguely vintage feel. Mulberry’s new Hopton style comes in solid hues, as well as the retro colourway of bright orange, crimson, cream and black, but its geometric silhouette keeps things contemporary. Ditto Roksanda’s sunshine yellow boxy bag. Anya Hindmarch, who was inspired by mathematical principles for her current collection, covered a sport duffle in colourful leather appliques, while Canadian brands Opelle and Mackage offer sleek black options. For a night out, Eddie Borgo’s velvet evening bag is a scene-stealer. Hands down, these bags are a hit.
