Whether it is for work or play, this messenger bag will carry you effortlessly through the week. Rendered in a classic cognac hue, you can easily convert it from a hand-carry satchel to a crossbody courtesy of a detachable strap. Its spacious medium-sized interior is perfect for stowing away your essentials. Bonus points for the card holder. Style it with a relaxed blazer and Chelsea boots for an androgynous work-ready look.
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.
