As far as BFFs go they don’t get much handier than these beauties — and they’ve got plenty of personality too. Whether you’re after a python party pal, a reliable tote or just a little fringed fun, there’s a new partner in style with bags of character coming your way.
Mono madness is in full swing so shift your wardrobe into summer mode with this multi-wear shoulder bag. Sling it over your shoulder, wear it across your body or ditch the strap and summer-up by scrunching it up in your hand, as seen on the catwalks.
This colour-pop python-esque clutch is a chic take on the snakeskin trend. A party accomplice with off-the-scale style, wear with a citrus ensemble and jewelled sandals for a shot of summer charm. Or repeat the reptilian print on a blouse and trouser combo for extra fashion points.

Hero handbags look like this. A timeless tote with the carryall factor but none of the seasonal restrictions, this sleek tomato design is the ultimate outfit game changer. Whether you work it with office attire or denim dungarees, you won’t regret it.
Let’s face it the drawstring bucket isn’t everyone’s bag — a little bit retro, a little bit bohemian but this season it has oodles of fashion appeal. Go slouchy yet elegant with demure colourways, like a two-tone nude and coral, and dangle it off your shoulder over a vintage-inspired kimono, white tee and denim shorts. It’s a festival bestie in the making.
Arm candy alert! A pastel rework and shrunken size give the satchel renewed style status this season. Pick out one colour from this bag to wear head to toe, or pair with a white lace dress for an oh-so darling look. Indulgent perhaps, but irresistible none the less.
