Sporting Stripes

Derby Backpack, £575, Hemsley London

Looks at it. Take a moment and let your eye balls wander up the clean-cut shape, down the stream-line buckle and to the pool of pure white so intense it makes you want to blink twice to clear your drooling eyes.

If this backpack sprouted legs, I imagine they would walk with a purpose, with an air of clear-minded calm and charmingly self confidence. They would dash about simply because they feel like it. They would be the first one up and the last one to bed. This bag knows it's a winner. It could never settle for loosing and certainly can't lay-about in the back of a rammed wardrobe. It's raring to go and ready to be teamed with a minimalist companion so understated it can grab all the attention because, did i mention, this one's got a little bit of an attention seeking problem? Right from the word go, it plonked itself in a paint pot of the brightest sunshine.
