Hi, in case you didn't know, my name is Keira and I am the one woman band that is Scott-Samuel. I thought I would take you through my Top 6 bags and tell you why they are my faves. In no particular order! It was 5 but I couldn't do it and had to make it 6! I basically shop for the store as if it is my wardrobe, so I do love everything else too, but these are the ones I use the most!
1) The Fringed Leather Bag. I love this bag a lot. It is edgy it is cool, it is fringed! It moves when you move, it's a decent size. What's not to love about this?! I love the fact that this bag can be used as a cross body and held as a clutch. It really does make it a great day to night bag. This is the bag I take to London for a weekend, it has been with me to Paris for the weekend and it was taken both to New York and to Paris by two style influencers. If you can only take one bag, this is it!
2) The Woven Leather Basket in Dark brown (regular size). I use this bag a lot (on holiday, for a day out, for a lunch date, a day in London). I love the colour, the texture, the woven leather. It looks great all year round and I use it a lot, all year round. It's a really decent size without being too big. I don't like carrying a bag that's too big for what I need. It's got a great drawstring cotton bag / pouch inside for your stuff and a zipped pocket for valuables. this pouch is removable should you wish. This is a v popular bag with Style influencers and stylists alike who recognise a great bag when they see it!
3) The Vintage Studded Leather Bag - I adore this bag. I have had mine for 3 years and used it throughout that time. I have the cognac and honestly it gets better with age. the perfect amount of slouch, the gorgeous washed Italian leather, the brass stud detailing, the plaited strap. It adds a little bit of boho loveliness to every outfit. I always wear it on my shoulder. I wear it out for coffee or lunch. I love it with my suede jacket, with my faux shearling or with a pretty blouse and jeans.
4) The Oversized Drawstring Slouch Tote - This is the newest of the bags but has fast become a contender for the top spot. I just love the shape of this, the leather is incredible. I love it as an oversized clutch but the thick strap makes it into a great shoulder bag and you can easily switch between the two. So if I go into town or to London for the day, I'd carry it on my shoulder on the tube etc and then switch to a clutch as and when! It is just such a cool bag.
5. The Geometric Leather Grab Handle - This bag always makes me feel grown up for some reason , which seems an absurd thing to say at 49! I love that it dresses up a simple outfit, I have the taupe and the burgundy and have used it as a wedding bag, for a night out, for a coffee. This bag can go anywhere and be dressed up or down. Carried as a hand held or with the shoulder strap (or as a crossbody bag).
6) The Large Leather Bumbag (Exposed Zips)
This is a bit of a wild card. If you had asked me a year ago it would have been the Regular leather bumbag but recently this has just pipped it to the post. Mine is the dark brown with gold hardware. I find myself often needing to carry that bit extra (for example reading glasses and sunglasses) and this is the one. It's my grab and go for the school run, the supermarket shop, a walk at the weekend. I even drive in this bag. It's practical, it looks good and it works surprisingly well with a great woollen coat for a more dressier look. Oh and it's great for holidays! Although I do tend to take the regular size on holidays.
