FASHION - Best Bags (for every need and desire)

What is it about bags? You’re never feeling to frumpy or fat to try on a bag. A bag will never feel too tight. And, what’s more, they’re useful, they’re essential, they’re must-haves. OK, so maybe it’s not essential to have so many, but hey, who’s counting?

Best Bags for Work 

Tote from Boden: http://www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Womens-Accessories/Bags-Wallets/AM206/Womens-Palermo-Tote.html?NavGroupID=1. Once thought of as the site for the sensible, Boden have gone all-out for the animal print in recent seasons and, no surprise, we at Mark Hill are lovin’ it!

Leather bag from American Apparel: http://store.americanapparel.co.uk/l-epicier-two-tone-leather-bag_rsalh530tw. Who'’d have thought that uber-cool American Apparel would give us something so grown-up and practical? Well they just did. And we love them for it.

Best Bags for the Gym

Gym bag from Jack Wills: http://www.jackwills.com/en-gb/product/ledbrook-gym-bag-10000367402. Kitsch kitbag styling in Jack Wills quality. What’s not to love?! We might even make it down the gym if we had one of these little numbers.

Best Bags for the Big Night Out
