I spotted this rather lovely bag from Hive & Co on its 'maiden voyage' last night, perched on the arm of Sian, editor of Domestic Sluttery. It's one of those styles that you should only wear if you don't mind constant admiring comments, because these were coming thick and fast - and for good reason!
The 'Agnes' is a lovely size: small enough to be neat and chic, yet big enough for more than just the essentials - perhaps even a netbook if you like to work on the go. Best of all, it's made from the most convincing faux-leather I think I've ever seen or touched: it feels every bit as soft as the 'real thing'.
£50 from Hive & Co, available in ocre yellow (pictured) or purple.
