There’s no denying the functionality of a small trolley case for quick getaways, but what it boasts in utility it can often be lacking in the style stakes. A much more elegant solution – and one that only gets more stylish with use – is the luxury leather holdall. Yes, you might have to sling it over a shoulder, or give your core muscles a workout when holding it by your side, but when it comes to elegance, nothing beats it. We’ve selected our favourite bags of the moment that will elevate your style but also, with care, last you a lifetime.
