Sometimes a bag just speaks to you, and while I don't generally shop at Banana Republic I couldn't help being drawn in by this chic cloud grey cross-body on the chain's website. It has a simple. laid back floppiness that reminds me just a little of Mulberry's 'Taylor' range, but at a much lower price point and a smart character of its own.
The bag is made from 100% squishy leather, and also comes in a moss green. Both are great transitional choices and would make good hard-working day bags. The hardware is fashionably over-sized and polished to a high shine. And I'm thinking I might soon be needing one of these in my life!
