Bally – B Turn bag in rose glaze @£895. Not only does this rock the pastel hue it is top handle and has a shoulder strap too for more casual days.

Primary colours
Loewe – Puzzle bag in yellow from Browns Fashion @£995. Top tip, buy the blue strap to really strut your Spring stuff – 2 primary colours is the trend.

Natural tan
Strathberry – Midi tote bag @£525. This brand was once known to a small group of fans but since Meghan Markle was spotted carrying one of their totes, demand has gone wild!
Aspinal of London – Mini trunk bag @£500. This box style bag scores highly because of the top handle, a thick shoulder strap with its zig zag design.
Top handle bags
Smythson – the Grosvenor mini bag in a bright green @£695. With all Smythson products, the leather is of the finest quality made in Italy, thankfully sold in London on Bond Street.

Structured shoulder bags
Alexander McQueen – Nano Box bag @£990. They say the best things come in small packages – this soft pink white bag with chain strap opens up and shows it can hold lots.
Embellishment
Zadig & Voltaire – XS Clous Bag @£420. In one of the colour trends for this Spring – blue, not only do you have the hue but you have the metal finish too.

Clear vinyl
Burberry – Shopper with vintage check pouch @£990. Be transparent and show off some of the contents of your bag and why not a geometric check – it’s a classic!
