Chloe is another of those labels that the bag devotee just can't miss, and we weren't remotely disappointed by its accessories collection for autumn/winter 2011. The strongly 70s-inspired garments seen on the runway were ably accompanied by some truly beautiful bags, which leant mainly towards the slouchy, but also included some boxier and more ladylike items.

The clothes, which were mostly made up from a heady combination of snakeskin and denim, provided a casual and breezy backdrop to the arm candy on offer and the combined result was the epitome of laid back chic. We loved in particular the chunky black leather hobo pictured top left: with its oversized tassels and versatile charm it's bound to become a staple item next season.

Also grabbing our attention were the slouchy bucket bags (centre) made up of colourful panels that gave an almost patchwork-like look. They appeared in several guises on the catwalk - mostly in powdery pastel colours - and looked just delightful.
