Choosing for the day you actually have

A bag rarely disappoints on looks. It disappoints on the occasion it has to survive: the crowded train, the folder that will not lie flat, the two nights away, the beach where sand gets into everything. Work back from that and the list narrows fast. The table below is the short answer we would give someone standing in front of the range with no idea where to start.

Bag type by occasion
The occasionWhat to look for
CommutingHands-free carrying, and a strap long enough to wear over a winter coat.
A day at the deskRoom for a folder without the bag losing its shape.
Evening outSmall enough to keep on your lap, with a fastening you trust.
Two nights awaySpace for a change of clothes, in a bag you can carry by hand or over the shoulder.
Holiday and beachWoven straw or cork: light, and easy to shake out afterwards.
Errands and marketAn open top you can fill standing up, one arm already full.

How this leather goods range is split

Four groups, and they do not overlap. The bag shapes come first, sorted by how they are carried rather than by material. Then come the pieces that live inside the bag, and the straps that clip onto a bag you already own. A fourth group sorts accessories by label, for anyone matching prints across two pieces.

Purses, wallets and card holders

A good bag stops being good when everything floats around at the bottom. A purse, a wallet or a card holder holds it all in place, and a soft pouch keeps the things that scratch away from the things that get scratched. Count your cards first: the number of slots you actually fill decides the format far more reliably than the stated size.

A new strap costs less than a new bag

A wide printed strap transforms a plain bag. It also rescues one that has gone soft and stretched at the shoulder. The thing to check before buying is the hardware: swapping the strap only works if the clips match the rings on your bag.

If you would like your bag and purse to match, our brand pages save you scrolling through the whole range twice.
