If you love the look of all the black patent accessories that are around this season, but you don't want to spend a small fortune on the likes of the Miu Miu Coffer Laura wrote about earlier today, here's a slightly more affordable version from Additions Direct's Love Label. This bag is only £18, and although it doesn't have the slouchy style of the Coffer, I love the fact that it's a frame bag: the "solid" look of it shows off the patent leather to great effect, but the strap detailing breaks up what would otherwise be a solid, shiny expanse of fabric. A great way to get into the patent trend without spending a fortune, and it's one of those bags that will take you from day to night quite easily, being big enough for work but glam enough for an evening out.
