I’m personally not a big fan of metallic bags… or totes… but this roomy plaited leather shoulder tote bag from Anya Hindmarch caught my eye. Anya Hindmarch, a renowned British accessories designer, has been making luxury bags since the 90s — enough of that ridiculous “I’m not a plastic bag” nonsense.

This gorgeous wrapped calf leather shoulder bag has a suede interior, zippered pockets and a drawstring closure top.

Why not supersize it? Go on - make it bigger and bigger. And while you’re at it, make the handles as small as you can. That’s bags this season: oversized holdalls that are made to only be held in the hand. Practical? Wait to see how many bags actually get into production, you’ll probably find that in-store, the proportions change to a far more manageable state of affairs. The key message though is that the bag is being used as a punctuation point to your outfit, and that the clothes are meant to be left unhindered - there’s something snappy about the silhouette with the bag held in the hand. Even more so when, as at Prada, the handles are ignored and the bag is held in a curl.

Celestina, Tina Maristela-Ocampo’s first name in full and the name of her line, merges her creative instincts (she’s already had careers in eyewear, design, modeling, and retail) with the talents of artisans from her native Philippines. The signature boxlike bags of mother-of-pearl, filigreed metals, and shagreen are framed (often with ebony from the province of Pampanga) and decorated with jade, carnelian, and tiger’s-eye. Other pochettes are woven of sterling silver, copper, or brass from Baguio.
