“I’ve worn this bag for 10 years”: the stylist shows off the best model that will never go out of style

“I’ve had this bag for 10 years now,” says Harriet Davey, British Vogue editor and celebrity stylist. “And she’s still my favorite.” What can I say – it’s a union! Not all fashionistas can boast of such dedication to a single model: even the legendary Jane Birkin once abandoned the Hermès trapeze, which bears her name. True, the actress then objected to the cruel treatment of crocodiles, from which cult bags were made, but, nevertheless, even her “friendship” with the bag was not eternal.

Why does Davey love this size so much? The stylist claims that compact models make you feel more feminine, finish the job on time, so you don’t rush around town with a huge tote full of papers. In addition, a good cross-body goes well with a down jacket, a spring trench coat, and a trouser suit that can be worn in summer. If you choose such classic noble shades as cream, sand, chocolate, graphite, you will get not only a bag, but a reliable girlfriend.

“I call them investment bags,” the fashion expert continues. — My models from Celine Trio to Loewe Gate have a shoulder strap. I also like the multi-strap, the one with which I can transform the bag into a clutch, a shoulder strap version or a model with a top handle. It’s even more convenient.”

Here, it seems, is the “recipe” for the perfect bag for all seasons. In the configuration described by Harriet, there are really no flaws – just a few nuances. In order for the accessory to really serve you for years, you need to choose a model made of leather, tweed or other dense material. It really is a long-term investment, it will pay off, no doubt!
