Park Picnic Tote
Lounge around in your favourite sunny, green space and forget about the week behind you. Relax, switch off those notifications, and bask in the peace and quiet. The Lulworth Tote is the perfect size for a picnic blanket, any park games you like to play (maybe a bat and ball or pack of cards) as well as your favourite snacks and drink. With the zip opening, wide opening and plenty of internal pockets, the shape of this tote was made for this activity.
Bags for Festival Style
Determined to max-out the fun from the remaining summer weekends? We can’t say we blame you. There are more than enough festivals to choose from on this Bank Holiday, from music, food and cultural celebrations, the world is your oyster. If comfortability is at the top of your list of priorities, we know from personal experience that different straps can make all the difference. The Sutton Sling in Leopard Print will grace you with two winning characteristics; it’s wonderfully maximalist with animal print detailing, and comes with both a shoulder strap, matching leather crossbody strap, and any two other straps of your choice. This design is also in our summer sale, so you can snap it up at a fraction of the full price. Win-win!
Farmers Market Fashion
Keep it cute and wholesome this Bank Holiday and spend the weekend appreciating the little things. Quality time with family and friends, visit the farmer’s market, have a BBQ in the garden, light some candles, make a berry pavlova - squeeze in all your favourite parts of the summertime. Browse the farmer’s market in style with an Original Bag in Canvas & Leather and really embrace the countryside vibe.
City Bag for a City Break
Arguably the best bag for a city break; the City Bag. For a trip to remember and outfits that you can’t wait to put on, with three interchangeable straps, you’ll never run out of looks for each outfit you bring.
