Pick of the Best: Black Bags

I'm a huge fan of black, but even more so particularly during the summer.  There's nothing cooler than shunning all the floral mambo-jambo out there in favour of something a bit more hardcore, and a chunky black tote is exactly what you need as the weather heats up.  

Step forward my pick of the best, a foray of thick dark leather: simple, oversized and luxurious.

  And no, they're not cheap.  But whoever said the best things in life come free has obviously never shopped at Liberty.
