marc-jacobs-umbrella.jpgMarc Jacobs is one designer who's realistic about the weather in coming weeks, as he's just launched this cute polka-dot tote bag with matching built-in brolly in time for British spring and summer. The brolly fits neatly into a slot in the bag's wipe-clean surface, making it a practical and mess-free solution to our changeable weather.

Both brolly and bag are made from strong and sturdy stuff, and add a jolly note to a neutral raincoat outfit. We like the addition of navy edging at the bottom corners, which also makes the bag a great accessory for nautical summer outfits.

£200 at Net-a-Porter
