Mimi Berry

Charlie Bag £155

A good bag can make or break any outfit: get it right and you’ve made a worthwhile investment that will see you through countless seasons, but get it wrong and you’ve just wasted hundreds of pounds on something that will remain permanently buried in the deepest, darkest corner of your wardrobe.

What we’re looking for is classic quality and staying power and we think we’ve found just the thing.

Honey Bag £156

Mimi Berry (don’t you just love the name) has produced a range of gorgeous bags that we’re fighting over at BATD HQ. Using top quality leather and heavy brass fittings we think these bags have a real Mulberry-esque feel. Our favourite is Honey in dark tan, we could just image Alexa Chung sporting one of these on her shopping jaunts, well at least she would if she wasn’t given so many free bags from Mulberry.

Elsie Bag £200

Now I know what you’re thinking, how much are they? Retailing from £105 to £225, they’re definitely affordable and they look like next season’s designer must have without the scary price tag attached. Available from their Cheshire Street store and online now.
