Picture a relaxed Sunday morning brunch with our Bee Leather Scoop Shoulder Bag or Beatrix Scoop Lether Cross-Body bag. Alternatively, exude confidence with the Beatrix Flap Over Leather Cross-Body or the Bee Leather Mini Tote, embellished with gold and silver hardware.
With a new season on the horizon, the addition of colour is the perfect tonic for the winter blues; vibrant colours such as green, buttercup yellow or cobalt blue lift the mood of a room (or garden). However, at Jasper Conran London, we encourage longevity in fashion, which involves styling your pieces for year-round wear. To achieve this, select versatile, yet brightening hues such as emerald green, tan leather, camel, white, cream or sky blue. Nevertheless, a black handbag never fails to deliver unwavering class.
![Bryn Leather Tote Bag in blue](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0524/6029/0247/files/Bryn_Leather_Tote_Bag_in_Blue_7de769e2-62c3-4bca-8f6b-52f57def3324.webp?v=1712671226)
The next consideration for this season’s accessory is structure and materials. A relaxed bag, created with flexible and robust leather, offers supreme comfort and wearability. Meanwhile, a structured piece such as the Bryn Leather Tote Bag is as resilient as it is versatile. Naturally, all our tote bags and bucket bags remain upright so all your belongings stay secure. Bryn provides clip-in storage for your purse or other valuables.
Leather handbags are naturally durable yet flexible, capable of adapting to any requirement. Many now look for equally luxurious pieces without the leather. The Dhalia collection is crafted with the finest faux leather. The Navy Hobo Bag provides ample storage for daily use; its contemporary design adds intrigue to your style. Our malleable recycled nylon bags also allow for unbeatable storage and practicality. The Carmen Nylon Cross-body Bag is the first choice for crisp morning dog walks or family adventures, where practicality takes precedence but elegance is preferable.

The final consideration is practicality. First and foremost, a handbag serves to store and organise all your essential belongings. Tote bags boast a generous capacity but shoulder bags or cross-body bags can be more practical with multiple internal storage compartments, slip pockets, secure zippers and fastenings. Jasper Conran London’s clutch bags even offer the versatility of a cross-body for day-long occasions.
Which Handbag Should I Choose for Versatility?
Sometime women may find a compromise between style and practicality. Features such as multiple straps, internal compartments and pockets, minimalist style, cross-body straps and generous storage ensure you’ll get the most wear out of this season’s handbag.

Which Bag Should I Wear with a Formal Spring Dress?
If the British springtime weather permits, lightweight dresses, brighter colours and florals make their resurgence.
