Sometimes, the best things come in the smallest packages. Compact enough to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, this flip-lock clutch features a detachable chain that lets you carry it like a crossbody. A roomy inner compartment holds all of your essentials, keeping them securely in place with the push-lock closure. In rich burgundy, let it steal the show when you team it with a monochrome pantsuit for work.
An accessible brand with genuine kudos, Charles & Keith has put the creativity back into affordable accessories. Its shoe and bag collections are always on the money, making them a hit with the British style press. Although it’s a global brand, it’s a relative newcomer to the British high street, so our advice is to get it early before everyone catches on.
