The predominance of croc and other exotics is going to be hard to miss this season, with designers from Chloe to Roberto Cavalli to Ralph Lauren all ensuring their 'It' bags are decked out in the finest skins possible.
While real exotics are limited to those with a serious bank balance, the rest of us will have to be content with mock versions, which if you're an animal lover, is a far better option anyway!
This star-shaped across body bag from Topshop is an example of the high street giving us a great day bag with great mock croc texture and at a great price (£15) - score!
