THE BAG PEOPLE MENTION
BEFORE YOU HAVE SAT DOWN

Most of us have a bag that does the job and nothing more, and it tends to be the one we carry every day. Tabitha is the opposite arrangement. It is soft to hold, sits close under the arm, and gives a plain coat and trousers something to talk about. You will find it goes with far more than you expected, which is usually the sign of a good one.

WHY THE TABITHA?

The texture does all the talking:A deep, plush surface that catches the light and softens as it moves with you. It means the rest of your outfit can stay quite simple and still look considered.

A handle worth noticing:The braided shoulder strap gives it a made by hand look rather than a shop bought one. It is the detail people lean in to look at, and the reason it never reads as ordinary.

Comfortable to carry all day:It sits neatly on the shoulder and stays where you put it, with nothing digging in on a long walk round town. Roomy enough for a purse, a phone, keys and glasses without going shapeless.

Five colours, quiet or otherwise:Brown, Grey, Khaki Grey and Black for every day, and White when you would rather stand out a little. The Brown flatters almost every coat in the wardrobe.

Lifts what you already own:Carry it with jeans and a jumper and the whole thing looks put together. Carry it to lunch or a christening and it holds its own there too.
