Fit and Practicality

The Nova is a lightweight tote designed to carry easily over the shoulder, with long handles that sit comfortably even when the bag is loaded with everyday essentials. Its internal pockets and compartments make it straightforward to keep keys, a phone and smaller items organised rather than loose at the bottom of the bag. The hidden magnetic closure keeps the contents secure while still allowing quick, one-handed access, making it a practical choice for daily use rather than occasion wear alone.

Best For

• Everyday work bag for carrying essentials between home and office
• School runs and daily errands where a lightweight tote is easier to manage
• Weekend outings where one bag needs to work across several stops
• Building a wardrobe around a versatile, neutral everyday bag
• Gifting, with the option to personalise using matching bag charms

Styling Guidance

Chocolate brown is one of the easier neutrals to build an everyday wardrobe around, sitting comfortably alongside cream, camel, black and denim. The braided texture adds interest without competing with a printed or patterned outfit, so it works well whether paired with tailored trousers for the office or jeans and a knit for the weekend. Its gold-tone hardware pairs naturally with gold jewellery, though it sits easily enough alongside silver pieces too if that's what's already in rotation. Layer it over the shoulder with a longline coat for an easy, put-together look through the colder months, or carry it hand-held with a lighter summer outfit.

• Works well with: tailored trousers, denim, longline coats, knitwear
• Colour palette: cream, camel, black, denim, white
