Electric blue is the only colour you really need to be seen in this coming season; besides that you can get by in black, white and silver. And River Island has dutifully responded with this rather lovely chain-strap handbag with shades of blue contrasted against red faux-snake panelling.
There's a hint of hippy here, tempered with an elegance that could add interest and style to any outfit you might throw on this Autumn. Can you believe this is really from the shop that until recently brought us endless racks of glittery denim doom? Believe it! £44.99 at River Island
