Ah, the ‘It’ bag. Some fashion commentators may have declared the reign of the It bag over, as we all ditched them in favour of unfussy, minimalist styles, but they were wrong. The ‘It’ bag is well and truly back, with a plethora of exciting new handbag heroes on the scene, just in time for autumn/winter 2011.
All the big players have a newbie on offer. There’s Chanel’s Boy, a delightful departure from their quintessential quilted style. Mulberry has the Carter, a graduation from their massively popular Alexa. Gucci has a boxy, small satchel in snakeskin, and Christopher Kane has a liquid-filled clutch, reminiscent of a school girl pencil case.
Now all you need to decide is which one’s for you...

So long live the 'It' bag! We know the prices can be eye-watering, but if you think about pay-per-wear, you’ll be surprised at how easy it is to convince yourself to splash some cash.
