Remember at school, when you had a drawstring Reebok bag to carry your hockey boots, or your ‘sports’ (as opposed to your ‘leisure’) trainers in? I mean, it was functional. It did the job. But it was hardly your prized possession.

Well, take that nostalgia and re-imagine your drawstring tote in conceptual monochrome. Because Whistles has released a Trinity Drawstring Backpack, £75, which elevates it into luxury fashion in a way you never thought when you drop-kicked it under the kitchen table.
OK, so it’s quite a lot of money for a polyurethane tote with cord strings. But for anyone who hates clunky, chunky ‘it’ bags, this might just be a lifesaver. Don’t drop the ball, yeah?
