When looking for the perfect summer-in-the-city tote, it's easy to reach for something that's lighter than a standard leather handbag. You could, of course, shake things up with Prada's new crochet tote (£1,500). With its softly deconstructed shape and twist of rock candy colour, it's crafty enough to reel in even those who can't be without their trusty Daunt Books cotton shopper.
Slotting in nicely with the ongoing trend for 'haute craft', Prada's open-weave design in petal pink is created with faux raffia yarns. Other features include the brand's emblematic triangle logo and embroidered lettering at its centre. With its homespun vibes and seven playful summer colours to choose from, trust Prada to make something that was once the preserve of grannies across the land, effortlessly cool again.
