Let's face it, Marc Jacobs has been a dead cert when it comes to making great handbags at least since the days of the Stam, so it should be no surprise to anyone that we're all over this stylish and delightfully simple 'Venetia' top handler: a current hit available in a range of colours. We think it looks best in a bleach-out shade like this barely-there beige, which gives the sold gold-toned metalwork the best chance to shine. We love the large-scale features as much as we can't get enough of its awesome quality leather...
With a chunky zip-come-buckle at the front and two heavyweight zip pulls opening up the top and underside, this is also both a highly practical and secure option for anyone looking for a compact day-bag to work hard for them. At £1024.99 it's certainly an investment, but one that's so simple and timeless we're certain it will pay off. Also available in a bright peony pink or in classic black, the small version of the Venetia is a true wardrobe asset.
