Bown City Tote, Handbag of the Day

We enjoy seeing the collections of designers when the break away from some of the bigger names of the industry and launch their own lines. It gives us chance to see more of them, and to find out more about their stylistic point of view. Bown is a new luxury leather goods label from designer Judy Bown, who formerly worked for Mulberry, Asprey, Tanner Krolle and Coach. Pictured here is the Bown City Tote, a spacious, medium-sized bag that is both elegant and versatile, with a number of well-thought out features that really set the tote apart from others in the price range. The bag is available in four different shades, including rhubarb (pictured), ginger and both light and dark browns. Price: £650 (approx. $1,229).
