4 WAYS TO WEAR /

BLACK LEATHER CROSS BODY BAG

At this time of the year is when I start thinking about the new season and if there is anything that my wardrobe is lacking. I haven’t bought a new bag for years and before investing in a one I like to think about how it’s going to work with my existing wardrobe and lifestyle, ie. am I really going to use it ? When my son was born I realised that I needed to be hands free a lot of the time, you can’t carry a baby and a bag that isn’t easy to throw over your shoulder or better yet across your body. I ended up buying a bum-bag that I wore cross body and have used it SO much since Dusty was born that when I spied this beautiful leather bag by coveted brand Khaite on NET-A-PORTER I knew that I would get a lot of use out of it. It’s made from the softest leather and it’s a decent size that you can fit lots in. I tried a few bags before I decided on this one but kept going back to it as it’s so well made and you know that strap is never going to break. Here is how I will be wearing it.

“I love a jumper dress but can something feel a bit blocky in them as I have broad shoulders and I like to wear them looser, by wearing a darker colour cross body adds shape and definition to the body”

“I have a lot taupe and milky whites in my wardrobe so this bag being black will add some definition to my mostly light looks and make them feel more modern”

“I love the buckle detail and how the leather is a nice contrast with the fabric of the suit”

“Day to day I will mainly be using it to run errands, walk the dog and take snacks to the park for Dusty”
