I’m pretty excited about what’s under the Christmas tree today, because I’m a little bit handbag-obsessed. I’ve scaled back my collection a bit now and go for quality over quantity when it comes to bags. The latest handbag to catch my eye is this classic doctor’s style bag with laser cut detailing – I love everything about it!
This bag is from UK based designer NICA and has both a single grab handle and a detachable adjustable cross body strap so you can carry it in the way you like best. It has plenty of storage space, including front and back compartments with zip closures so the contents of your bag doesn’t spill everywhere; an interior zip pocket and slip pockets. Most of all, I love the delicious raspberry colour!
Thanks to the team at Farmers, I’ve managed to get my hands on one of these beauties – but it’s not for me! It’s going to find it’s new home with one of you…
