It’s well known that women want it all: a chic, elegant bag that isn’t flashy, but with the capacity of a suitcase, because we always have so many things to carry with us.
This is why the Shopping Bag appeals to more and more active women: one can indeed fit a lot in it while remaining elegant. It can even be used as a mini travel bag for one-night getaways. I invite you to discover my favourites of the season:
The most practical, Josefina Sac large model:
If you buy this bag, you won’t be able to do without it, because it is the most practical bag I know, and it is so beautiful!
Magnificent in 100% cowhide leather, made in Spain, with perfect finishes and an interior organised to be optimised to the maximum. It couldn’t be better: two large pockets, 2 pockets for baby bottles or drinks, 1 compartment for a laptop, and an adjustable, detachable shoulder strap which, thanks to its very practical system, also lets you hang this bag on a pushchair if you have children. Incidentally, some people call it the changing bag.
Presented here in size L at €348, it also comes in size M at €308 and is available in several colours. For more information, visit www.josefina.fr
Simple and refined, the Massimo Dutti Cabas Bag:
Made entirely of sand-coloured cowhide leather, very on-trend for the season, this bag is refined yet very simple, and it will let you carry quite a lot, even a few clothes and toiletries if you’re going away for a day or two. No inner pockets, a single compartment.
One size but 2 colours: sand or black. €169. www.massimodutti.com.
Because Karl is immortal, the Rue Saint Guillaume Bag:
Simple, elegant and a tribute to Karl, this shopping bag in very fine cotton canvas lets you carry it by hand or on the shoulder thanks to its 2 handles, which is very practical. Zipped inner pocket, contrasting lining, logo tag on the back, storage cover; this tote is very complete.
One size but 2 colours, natural or black. €69. www.karl.com.
Adopt a seventies look with the Morgan tote bag:
Plenty of character for this tote bag in entirely synthetic material with a removable handle. Inner pockets and an elegant design.
One size, €65. www.morgandetoi.fr
A taste of the beach with the new Vanessa Bruno tote:
Handmade and 100% raffia, this tote gives you the feeling that summer has already arrived. Perfect dimensions, two handles for carrying by hand, French craftsmanship, this bag comes in 3 colours in one size: natural, yellow or black. Very nice to carry around town on the Côte d’Azur.
One size, 3 colours, €210. www.vanessabruno.fr
