“Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home…”

The 4 bags (pictures curtesy of Net-a-porter and Elle.com) have a few things in common: squarish in shape, have wrist strapes, have clasps and front folds. However, they are all made from different hides.

1) Bagley Mishka patent leather  bag: great for unpredictable weather from London to Melbourne

2) Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquiere lambskin bag- you can appreciate how soft it is just by looking at it. It also resembles a house.

3) Anya Hindmarch python bag: I love the gold chain detail and the snakeskin plaque surrounding the clasp.

4) Luella ostrich bag: a classic piece with front pockets to hold your ipod or keys and the most extravagant hide to carry your stuff around in: in a big bird.

Got your hands full? Don’t worry, Big Bird will hold that for you.
