Wardrobe Basics: The It Bag #12

The Wardrobe Basics series considers those items that form the foundation of a fully functioning wardrobe. They are those pieces that will go with anything else that you might add to your wardrobe and those pieces that you go back to season after season. This series takes each of those Basics and discusses their importance and where to buy them, for every budget. You can see the previous Basics in this series here.

This week the "It Bag" takes centre stage. As London Fashion Week continues in the UK capital and fashionistas from around the world descend on the catwalks to soak up the wonderful creations, there will of course be many many "It Bags" being filled to the brim. Here are my picks for your budget:


SAVE: Warehouse Clean Shopper Bag from Asos

ASOS Leather Twist Lock Vintage Style Satchel

SPEND: Mulberry Oversized Alexa leather bag via net-a-porter*

SPLURGE: Proenza Schouler PS1 Large leather satchel via net-a-porter

What is your Wardrobe Basic?

*I do love the Mulberry Bayswater leather bag but for LFW I think the Alexa has the edge as is can be worn across the body - leaving hands free for shooting!
