A new column offering alternative ways to shop. This week, return to the office in style
Many of us are now heading back to the office, even if it’s just for a couple of days a week.A nice bag – an item naturally neglected while working from home – is a good way to mark this new dawn. Natural tones, be they autumnal brights or classic neutrals, bring an easygoing versatility. They go with most colours, and have a durability that can stand up to the vexations of the commute.
A rented bag is a good way to add oomph to an outfit without a hefty investment, even if the outfit itself is pretty low-key by comparison. Think about how to experiment with buzzy brands and playful designs that allow you to make just enough of a statement. It will bring joy to a weekday morning.
