Its never been so cool to go back to school, or be a school boy for that matter. This year saw the return of the IT bag and most of the arm candy was in the form of a messenger bag. The cool satchel esque bags have been inspired by the uber luxe military, soft utility feel that's been all over the runways the past few seasons. Today's focus is all about the messenger bag and which ones should make it into your closet this season.
Starting with the Mulberry Alexa bag, inspired by London It girl Alexa Chung, the Alexa bag is mash up of Mulberry's iconic Bayswater and a men's briefcase, ticking all the boxes for it bag status. Messenger bags seem to be have become mock ups of the classic bags were are accustomed too, which leads us to the faithful satchel by Alexander McQueen. Looking like the birth child of McQueen favourite, the faithful bag, the satchel will win you new brownie points for the season.
Saving the best to last the Proenza Schouler PS1 bag, the bag that started the satchel obsession, is my front runner for effortless chic. Available in a variety of skins from crocodile to leather and suede and a spoilt for choice selection of colours, the PS1 is,the best excuse to hit the books and go back to school.
