It ruins a perfect silhouette, especially now that we have to carry hand sanitisers and space face masks as we go about our day to day.

Why not consider these options? Whether it’s a carryall or a small messenger bag, this curated selection is stylish and functional. What more can you ask for?
This Gucci pouch is woven from two different coloured yarns to give it an artfully worn, vintage effect. The front bears the brand’s signature “Web” stripe and gold-tone metal GG hardware, while the tan leather trims lend a sophisticated edge. Carry it via the wrist strap or use it as a clutch.
