OK so let’s talk about size - because when it comes to handbags it really does matter. After years of cramming our day-to-day essentials into tiny cross body bags, we’ve been thrown a lifeline.
Big, supersized, ludicrously capacious bags are back in fashion, and once you’ve made the transition, you’re going to wonder why we ever let them slip away.
Flat shoes for the subway? No problem. Your lunch pail? Just chuck it all in, and don’t forget the crisps. This season’s XL totes are so spacious, you’ll never have to leave the house without all your worldly possessions again.
So, who do we have to thank? Looking to the runway, with made-for-real-life dressing dominated the autumn ready-to-wear collections, The Row, Loewe and Victoria Beckham all showcased practical and convenient bags that you could squeeze half the house into.

On the celeb front Katie Holmes was recently spotted with Dune London’s Deliberate XL tote, which has already sold out twice. Harpers Bazaar and Glamour magazine are both calling it the high street’s most ‘in-demand’ and ‘perfect’ bag.
