I headed into central London today, and amid trawling through the high street stores on offer, I did walk into Marks & Spencer. I have to admit, I’m impressed. From the lines they used to stock years ago, to the collections they hold now, they have really upped their game to become true competitors. As I swiftly paced through the store, I glanced up and within their Autograph collection came across this stylish tote bag:
Leather Leopard Zip Shopper Bag, £99, Autograph at M&S
Autograph is definitely one of the brand’s more sophisticated collections, and they pride themselves with a view that their main competitor on the market as DKNY.
This tote is timeless, but definitely has a modern feel with the introduction to the bold leopard print and zip detail. At £99, it’s potentially a little pricey for some, however I’m convinced that leather bags last, so I’d see it as a great investment as well as a classic accessory to add to your wardrobe. Not to mention, everyone should have some leopard print in their lives. It’s one of those prints that recurs throughout the years and seasons as time goes on.
Unfortunately I didn’t get an opportunity to have a close up look at it (the one I saw was on display and way beyond my little 5″6 reach). I’d be inclined to find out whether the bottom of the bag has feet to protect the underneath, and while it says there is a popper and zip close – does this mean the zip closes the entire bag? Those are key points I always look, partly because I’m usually on the go so my bag gets thrown to and from anywhere and everywhere, and I also don’t want to lose half the contents. But that’s just my personal preference.
