Like the Queen, a fashion editor is rarely seen without a handbag by her side. It is her steadfast sartorial plus-one; her secret weapon for pulling an outfit together.
For an editor, fashion week is a marathon, not a race. Though only a week long, it holds a punishing schedule of events with back-to-back appointments and seemingly no let-up until bedtime, which tends to come later than desired after showing ones face at either a dinner or a party. Amongst the glamour and swill of champagne and shows, a handbag becomes a secret weapon, a stabiliser of sorts. Hidden inside one will find the essentials for surviving this non-stop tournament of events.

At New York Fashion Week Grazia’s editor opted for a mustard Mulberry bag called the Amberley Hobo that was capacious enough to hold all her essentials. With luggage weight to consider, the fact that this shoulder bag has a nifty detachable pocket that neatly becomes a cross-body bag means it can be recycled for different outfits at a moments notice. Hidden inside is a Smythson notebookfor making show reports, a Celine purse, Emporio Armani’s Because It’s You perfumefor spritzing, a Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Kiss Cupuacu Lip Butter for instant hydration and a pair of rose gold mirrored shades.
