We’re reading more and more about conscious shopping, with many organisations and experts calling on us to think about the environmental impact of our spending habits. Sustainable fashion has been a big topic of discussion for years now and it’s important we all strive towards making better fashion choices. Creating a sustainable or ethical wardrobe may seem daunting but it’s not as hard as you think and starts with investing in pieces that were made to last.

An easy place to start is your accessories closet, specifically your bag collection. A well-chosen bag can see you through season after season, complement every item in your wardrobe, and be your everyday hero (whether it’s a shoulder bag for work or a cross-body for your travels). How to find this bag? Think minimal. In fact, in a recent study by fashion search engine Lyst, searches for ‘minimal’ bag have gone up 118% since December 2019. The Marc Jacobs Editor 29 Tote, Michael Kors Voyager Bag and  Kate Spade New York Polly Tote are the roomy everyday bags that you can pack with all your essentials. The much-loved Bottega Veneta Nappa Pouch Bag, Kate Spade New York Nicola Shoulder Bag and Saint Laurent Kaia Satchel are the perfect ‘every occasion’ bag, whether it’s a wedding, date night or party.
