Is it practical?

We love this Reiss zipper tote bag for its ample capacity and easy access.  You can literally fit everything in here and it reminds us of the original retro shopping totes, except with a super modern twist of Reiss charm and elegance.  This handbag has a handle drop of 14.5cm, making it comfortable to tote around on your arm or by hand and with its zippered closure and inner zippered slot pocket, your valuables are safe.

The great this week news is that Reiss’ other Zipper bags are on now on sale with up to 30% off.

Who wears it?

Mollie King always looks perfectly on trend and she has been papped a few times now with this stunning monochrome Reiss tote.

Did you know?

Reiss have such a great collection of totes this season that your choice feels unlimited.  Have a look at the Reiss Sal short handle tote for yet another sassy option in size and colours.

Why do we love it?

At £165 you get so much bag for your money! Its dimensions measure 33 cm x 31cm x 15cm, giving you so much space that you could even pop in the uber on trend Reiss cut flower embellished clutch to wear as your evening alternative!  We love the watermelon saffiano leather which looks chic against cream or white in the Summer and is the fashion focused colour alternative to black for your office handbag choice.

Last summer, light-weight bags was what it was all about and we did not want to carry anything too big and bulky as us ladies often get accused of carrying round a small suitcase! But, super-sized handbags have always been an important fashion statement to designers and celebrities alike.  They look fabulous and in their supersize scale your hard-earned purchase will be hard to miss – but even better, their maxed-out capacity means they can hold all of your worldly possessions.

Reiss, Fendi and Dolce & Gabbana have all brought out some extra large, extra practical and super stylish handbags for their SS13 collections. Have a look at some of our favs:

Is it Practical?

This leather tote bag couldn’t get any more practical!  It’s large dimensions of 33cm x 25cm x 14.5cm means that you have more than enough room to store all your sunrise to sunset essentials.  With a 14.5cm depth, this handbag is deceptively big and can happily be utilised for your overnight basics.  With a concealed inner zip, pouch pockets and a classic fold over flap, the Sal short handle handbag has all the security you would expect from your everyday handbag, but with a huge emphasis on style and shape.   You can attach the strap and wear this leather handbag on your shoulder, or keep it current and carry this luxe Reiss bag by its short style handles.

Who Wears It?

Apart from the well-known Middleton madness surrounding the Reiss brand,  BagServant’s favourite Olivia Palermo has caught the Reiss bug and is seen here stepping out with her Reiss clutch bag.

Did You Know?

We should all be proud of our native brand Reiss.  This truly home grown brand, endorsed by royalty, is one of the few UK brands to crack the American market.  They’ve definitely got something right and the ss13 collection is fabulously directional whilst maintaining an important dose of UK personality.

Why Do We Love it?

What’s not to love?  We adore its simple everyday appeal which is juxtaposed with luxurious textured leather and sleek gold hardware.  The size of this tote makes it perfect for travel, allowing you to look chic whilst concealing all of your vital travel necessities.  Mix and match with other Reiss travel friendly pieces like the Reiss embossed cosmetic pouch or the Reiss embossed iPad sleeve. We can’t get enough of that unique side zip detail which simply raises this bag to a higher level of fashion focused ‘everyday’ bags.  Most of all we love the price of this tote…a hugely practical but beautifully classy statement bag at an amazingly affordable cost.

BagServant’s style tips

This handbag can be worn with anything! Smarten up a casual jean, flats and vest top combo with this red leather tote or pair it with your super sharp tailored suit for the perfect professional ensemble.  The Boardroom Perfectionist, Big Bag lover and Confident Classique will all be first in the queue for this Reiss Sal short handle handbag.

So far online is the Nina shoulder bag in vanilla and the Coco bowling bag in navy blue. The seemingly similar bags share the same saffiano leather crafting and square shape and can be carried on the crook of the arm or shoulder thanks to the detachable strap. The only visible difference is the Coco’s front zipper and the Nina’s slightly smaller design.

Handbag Experience 

Both bags are great everyday looks, which could be used at the office, out shopping, and the Coco could even be big enough for weekends away. Strong, high quality leather means Reiss bags are long lasting and suitable for day to day wear, not to mention that they look fab.

When and Where is it Perfect for?

The versatility of Reiss bags makes them ideal for pretty much any occasion or outfit. Ideal for Big Bag Lovers, Miss Practical and Confident Classiques. The Nina could also suit Sporty – Luxe trends with it’s white and gold toning.

Interior

Spacious with inner zip pockets and two handy pouches ideal for storing keys, phones and other daily essentials.

Material 

As with all Reiss handbags, Coco and Nina are crafted from only the very best saffiano leather, with 100% cotton lining. Adding a high quality finish and a soft yet hardwearing edge, with a bit of love and care these bags will last you for life.

Best Colour to Pick 

Only available in one colour each, the Nina is ideal for pastel-lovers, as white bags work as a good offset to the popular spring trend. For busy mums and workaholics, the Coco’s darker shade of navy may be more practical, but both are equally gorgeous.

BagServant’s Thoughts 

Reiss never fail to amaze us season after season, and we know there are even more stunning designs to come. The Coco and Nina, however, are a great place to start, with their versatile shapes, sizes and colours. Whichever you prefer, snap it up! These are must-haves for you Spring/Summer wardrobe.

The shape looks set to continue as the tote of choice for 2013. The style has been popular amongst a whole host of designers from Reed Krakoff to Reiss, who have revealed their Celine-inspired tote that is set to appear in the store’s SS’13 collection. Now spanning all colours and price ranges, the eared bags are all the rage and all over the high street. We can’t wait to get our hands on Reiss’ two tone nude and snakeskin version, but is the look being over done?

Givenchy’s Antigona collection comes in a range of sizes as well as a plethora of shades from neutral blacks and nudes to bright oranges and blues. Folli Follie and Alexander McQueen also opted for brighter hues in their takes on the signature design, whilst the Fendi 2 Jours keeps a more sophisticated style.

Whilst we love the style, shape, and huge selection, does every designer having a pop at Celine-inspired totes devalue the original design’s uniqueness? If it’s suddenly appearing on every high street corner, the trend may fade out as quickly as it burst into the limelight. We certainly hope this won’t be the case!

Whether you’re wanting a new office look, or just to add a touch of sophistication to your new year’s wardrobe, there’s sure to be something for you. Reiss have 25 stores nationwide, but with free online delivery within the UK, why brave the winter winds when you can update your wardrobe from the warmth of your sofa?

This pairing works for any occasion, from the office to evenings out. The gorgeous coral Lillyanne coat is great for the lead up to spring, and when teamed with the sheepskin Ashlee bag, ensures your warm, wintery look stays stylish.
