A new season at Lakeland Leather means one very important thing\u2026 the office suddenly becomes extremely<\/em> opinionated about handbags. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From suede totes big enough to carry your entire life, to cross body styles that go with absolutely everything, we\u2019ve all got our favourites and narrowing it down to our firm favourite was no easy task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, we asked a few members of the team to pick the bag they\u2019re loving most this season\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n

Nicky\u2019s Pick: The Mirehouse Suede Sling Bag<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital Executive Nicky has fallen firmly for the Mirehouse Suede Sling Bag in Chocolate Brown<\/strong><\/a> (the first choice of many but Nicky pipped everyone to the post) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHands-free but still stylish\u201d was the brief and this one absolutely delivers. The rich chocolate woven suede gives it that effortlessly earthy feel, while the sling shape keeps it modern and easy to wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect for coffee runs, weekend wandering and those \u201cI\u2019ll just take the essentials\u201d moments that somehow still require snacks, lip balm and sunglasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicky\u2019s opinion:
\u201cIt makes every outfit look more put together with basically zero effort.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Charlotte\u2019s Pick: The Tarn Hows Leather & Suede Tote<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head of Marketing Charlotte chose the beautifully understated Tarn Hows Leather & Suede Tote Bag in Chocolate Brown<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equal parts polished and practical, this is the kind of tote that works just as well for office days as it does for weekend brunch plans. The combination of leather and suede gives it a luxe feel, while the roomy shape means there\u2019s space for everything including the things you definitely didn\u2019t<\/em> need to bring. (Charlotte is guilty of being an over packer!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte loves how versatile it is:
\u201cIt\u2019s one of those bags that can works for most events, plus it’s roomy enough for me to take all the things I need with me’<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Yas\u2019 Pick: The Dalston Leather Cross Body Bag<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Yas, our Concessions & Retail Manager, it had to be the Dalston Leather Cross Body Bag in Tan<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classic, timeless and in a really smart shape the Dalston is the kind of bag you\u2019ll reach for those special occasions . The warm tan leather makes it an instant outfit-lifter, while the compact cross body design keeps things easy and comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yas describes it as:
\u201cThe perfect modern bag to elevate any outfit’ <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Clare\u2019s Pick: The Santon Suede Tote Bag<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graphic Designer Clare picked the Santon Suede Tote Bag in Green<\/strong><\/a> another firm favourite of most people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rich green suede feels fresh for the Summer season while still being incredibly wearable, and the relaxed tote shape gives it that effortless \u201ccool without trying too hard\u201d energy we all want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clare says:
\u201cI love that it adds a pop of colour without feeling too bold, it’s soft suede makes it feel very organic.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s one thing we\u2019ve learned from this little office debate, it\u2019s that this season\u2019s collection has something for everyone, whether you\u2019re a cross body loyalist, a tote bag collector, or simply someone who enjoys having a bag nice enough to make strangers ask, \u201cWhere\u2019s that from?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now excuse us while we try very hard not to add all four to our baskets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
