More often than not tucked under the arm of Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner, Bottega’s cult Jodie satchel oozes quiet luxury dressing.

The buzzy accessory is characterised by the Italian label’s signature woven lattice detailing and slouchy silhouette, becoming the latest A-lister go-to – with a premium price tag to match.

Coming in a range of sizes and colours, the smallest candy Jodie will set you back £1,170, while the medium style costs £3,050. But if you’re looking to get the designer look for less, Anthroplogie has come through.

When word got out earlier this year, it unsuprisingly sold out – but now it’s back for all your transitional dressing needs. The Melie Bianco bag is crafted from soft, vegan-friendly leather and comes infour colourways. In fact, the LA-based label is one of our favourite vegan handbag brands, owing to designs that are far more luxurious than their prices suggest.

Whether you opt for the sleek black, playful red or minimalist taupe and grey, the high-street bag is an all-year-round staple. Here’s how to get your hands on one in time for the season ahead.

Designed in a satchel silhouette, Melie Bianco’s bag also boasts woven lattice detailing and a distinctive handle knot. Better still, it’s crafted from soft, vegan-friendly leather, making it a more ethical purchase.

A similar size to Bottega’s mini Jodie bag, the spacious satchel leaves ample room for your valuables. Slotting seamlessly into your wardrobe for summer into autumn, the taupe, grey and black colourways are perfect for minimalists, while the bold red finish will inject some colour into your ensembles.
