Remember that scene in Mary Poppins, when the magical nanny places her carpet bag on a table and pulls out a tall lamp, pot plant and long mirror? (It's on the Sky movie channels all the time at the moment thanks to Christmas approaching). We all want a handbag like that, don't we? Actually, we all want to be Julie Andrews a little bit, don't we?
This holdall from Topshop reminds me of Julie's famous bottomless bag. It's a bit brighter, but the print and bag shape are similar. While you might not be able to fit half your bedroom furniture in it, it is roomy enough for a weekend away or for your hand luggage on a flight. And with a tropical print like that, it doesn't really matter if you're only going to Wales.
