Sophie Hulme Buckle Tote: Bag review #bagreview

Sophie Hulme, a classic British designer that has won the hearts of hundreds of fashionistas across the globe. We have drooled over many of her handbags as there seems to be one for every style and occasion. Last month we featured the Sophie Hulme document clutch, which is just the cutest office accessory we’ve ever seen! And around this time last year, we popped in to Selfridges to check out the whole collection and found out why everyone loves Sophie Hulme bags.

From satchels to clutches in simple colours or detailed patterns, Sophie Hulme’s collection epitomises city fashion. But, when we go back to basics, we always turn back to the reliable and effortlessly cool Buckle Tote. The Sophie Hulme Buckle Tote is traditional, stylish and extremely practical. Loaded with recognisable Sophie Hulme traits this Structured buckle tote is a must-have for any girl about town.

What are they made of? 

There are actually two types of leathers used for the Sophie Hulme Buckle Tote. The classic and original handbag is made from quite a hard matt leather which keeps the bag structured and ensures it keeps it’s rigid shape. The other version, is a handbag made from a soft leather. Keeping the iconic elements, including gold-plated brass plaques, buckle detailing and easy, everyday shape, from afar there is not much difference between the two handbags. But, finished in butter-soft leather, the newer addition opts for a more slouchy style.

How big are they? 

The Buckle Tote has a detachable adjustable buckle-fastening shoulder strap with lobster clasps which attaches in two ways, and two leather internal slip pockets. This Sophie Hulme bag measures 31cm x 37cm x 10.5cm and comes with a signature, collectable gold-plated ice-cream spoon charm which is unique to this season. It’s safe to say this bag can easily fit your laptop and other office essentials, and makes for the ultimate daytime handbag.

Style tips: 

Cropped trousers with a smart/casual shirt and small heels are the perfect accompaniment for this bag when heading to the office. Or, team with jeans and an over-sized jumper for weekend style.
