Could there be anything dinkier than River Island’s fluffy lilac handbag? We think not. It conforms to our favourite canon of handbags: ie those that look like a pet, as well as buying into the summer’s pastel trend in a kitsch rather than a cutesie way.
The best way to wear a bag like this is with something completely the opposite. So, with pinstripes. Or a LBD and leather jacket. Sequins and frills may wound eyes, but by making this powderpuff of an accoutrement the only girly thing on your person, it’s the most unexpectedly brilliant way to rock a handbag like this.
