If you're looking for an affordable 'statement' bag, then this new style from Marks & Spencer is definitely worth checking out. It's a large and practical hobo style in a pleasing pale pink and tan colour combination - but what really makes it desirable and fun is the oversized padlock clasp on its front.
I've seem this bag 'irl' and was surprised to learn from its online description that it isn't made of leather. Its man-made fabric looks fully authentic but brings down the bag's cost, as well as making it fully vegan. Great choice for the next season and beyond, as its pale hue will really come into its own by spring.
£39.50 at Marks & Spencer
