At around about this time every year, I start my annual search for bags that are large enough to be used as airplane carry-ons, and yet small enough and stylish enough to be carried around on those hot summer holiday nights. This stitch tab leather holdall from Miss Selfridge seems like a pretty good choice: it's real leather, so should hopefully be sturdy and hard-wearing enough to carry around all of my flight bag "essentials", but the metallic leather also gives it a bit of glamour, and will go with almost any colour. And at £40, it's a bit of a bargain, too.
