A thing worth having: the bright red bag

Quiet luxury is out and colour-blocking is in, but how do you wear bold brights without looking like a CBeebies presenter? The trick is to incorporate them into your look one piece at a time. Start with a handbag; it’s the classic red lipstick of accessories, giving instant pep with minimal effort. Celine’s Halfmoon Soft Triomphe is one that’s been haunting our sartorial dreams. Reassuringly soft and squishy in a perfect, mood-lifting primary red, consider it an emotional-support handbag. It’s our guiding star for bag inspiration.
