As chic little handbags languish in wardrobes and warehouses, the shopper or tote is the new must-have ‘It’ bag garnering admiring glances, albeit from afar (well, two metres, at least).
If you really want to impress, choose one with a charity purpose. Kurt Geiger has launched a new national version of its We Are One tote bag, £20, with all profits going to NHS Charities Together. Dame Joan Collins and Elizabeth Hurley are among the celebrities sporting the new shopper.
So if you are looking to make a style statement on your essential food-finding forays, here are some of our favourite shopper bags:
