The Summer Bag
The summer is slowly fading, in a pleasantly British way, with the rain and the slight feeling of all in the air. Looking back at the summer, and taking stock of style, one thing was obvious, a shift in style and an embrace of the anonymous accessory be it in small handbags or large straw…
