Gift of the Day: The Stella McCartney staple that has us starry-eyed

One North Star we're definitely following

All is bright this Christmas, especially with this crimson knockout on the horizon. This Stella McCartney bag is definitely a contender for our Christmas gifts for her edit and one you’ll be toting around all holiday season - and well into 2018.

Red is still very much the colour of the season and this accessory is crafted from a vegan leather called Alter Nappa, although you’d never be able to tell the difference. With a gold star detail to reward you for all the crap you had to put up with this year, I particularly love the unique star quilting - it’s giving me major Power Puff Girls vibes in the best of ways.

Wear it on your shoulder with stunning Christmas party dresses or across your body over a houndstooth winter coat to take on the snow in style. If red isn’t your vibe, there’s also a white and black version that’ll go with pretty much any outfit below.

The Stella Star Small Shoulder Bag is available for £745 from Stella McCartney, so it’s definitely investment piece material. It’s been a roller coaster of a year though and say it after me: you deserve this.

Not sick of the festive season yet? We’ve got more present inspiration in our numerous galleries, including our Christmas gifts for him, Christmas gifts for dads, Christmas gifts for mum, gifts for book lovers, secret Santa gifts, best beauty advent calendars and Christmas makeup gift sets that should have every person in your life covered - and then some.

There’s only thirteen days till December 25th. Can you believe it?

I for one will be stuffing my face with mince pies till the bitter Boxing Day end. Preferably with this bag in hand.
