Street Chic – Bag To Basics
When it comes to bags, we all love our leather. Luxurious, supple and soft, it will always have a place in our hearts. Yet, there will be days when we feel like dressing down or just need something more practical that we can be a little rough with. This is where the ever user-friendly casual bags come in. Stain and water-resistant nylon and machine-washable canvas are perfect materials for such bags. Whether you are going to the gym or heading out for brunch and shopping after, these roomy carriers will serve you well. With their bright colours and quirky prints, they are also visually arresting eye candies that will sit very prettily on your arm (or shoulder). Going back to basics can be very stylish indeed.
Tumi Voyageur
The Tumi Voyageur range is a great for both travel and daily use. Made of lightweight but durable nylon, these bags come with just the right number of compartments to appease our OCD tendencies. Despite its numerous interior and exterior pockets, silhouettes remain sleek and modern without any sign of bulk. The quinessential shopper has everything you will want in an everyday shopper. Bright and cheery, it comes with sturdy leather carry handles and trim.
The Voyageur range can be found at Tumi, #01-16, Mandarin Gallery
