Meet the new classics...
In partnership with Fiorelli
We all love trying new trends, but it can be a tricky task when they become passé after just one season.
So the key is to invest in timeless yet modern classics. You know the ones, those pieces that will instantly elevate your look and make it more current, yet blend in effortlessly with your forever wardrobe?
And without a doubt, the best way to change up your look is with a handbag, especially in winter when it's the only accessory that will make your winter coat more interesting.
With Fiorelli, you get the best of both worlds. Classic shapes but with a contemporary edge, and investment pieces that will last you season after season.
Here is your go-to guide of the five staples that will never go out of style.
The carry-all
Shop now: BETHNAL Grabs for £69 from Fiorelli
This classic shape gets a modern minimalist makeover this season thanks to discreet white stitching down the edges. Once you invest in it, you'll wonder how you ever functioned without it.
It's a great workwear staple worn with a sharp masculine suit, yet works equally well at the weekend with an oversized cashmere knit and cropped jeans.
The hobo bag
Shop now: FAE Hobo for £79 from Fiorelli
The 70s revival trend is everywhere from the catwalk to the high street this season, but you want to invest in a piece that'll stand the test of time rather than look like you've borrowed it from your mum.
Look for clean lines, a rich tan shade and gold hardware details that give it a modern twist.
The shoulder bag and the 24/7 shopper bag

You won't ever go wrong with a classic black shoulder bag, which virtually goes with everything and can fit in your laptop so you don't have to juggle too many bags on the go.

Look no further than a chic shopper bag if you're after a staple that will meet all your needs. The clue's in the name: this hard-working 24/7 shopper is great for weekends away, for work, for evenings out and much more.
The cross body bag
Shop now: ROCKY cross body bag for £59 from Fiorelli
Whilst carry-alls and tote bags are wardrobe must-haves, don't underestimate the power of a small cross body bag, especially if you're looking for a style that will take you from office to party. This tan and black bag has the advantage of complimenting any outfit choice.
Consider yourself kitted out for this season - and many more seasons after that.
