Smythson Bags

If you think Smythson are experts in nothing but elegant stationary and stylish diaries…think again…their range of handbags and accessories is hugely popular with fashionistas who want something a little more subtle on their arm than the latest ‘It’ bag. The newest addition to the range is the gorgeous Maze bag, which comes in contrasting goat skin leather and suede and features a strong geometric pattern on the front (hence the name) and a soft, boxy shape. Available in rich autumnal shades of cassis, mustard, forest green, mocha – and classic black – the Maze has a retro look that feels just right this season. I also love the matching clutch, which, like the full-size Maze, is lined in signature deep mauve satin and fastens with a brushed-gold clasp. Tuck it under your arm for an evening out and you’ll feel effortlessly elegant – and seriously smug at working a timeless look that doesn’t pander to the fickle whims of fast fashion. Fabulous!!
