Fashion meets function: the essential handbag guide If the warmer weather has you reassessing the state of your wardrobe, you’re not alone. It’s the perfect time to take stock of what’s working, what isn’t, what’s missing – and it’s been on our mind here at Mikko, too!
Our handbag collections often get the last look, after clothing, footwear and outerwear. But being such an essential item, the bag you choose to wear for any occasion deserves to be designed to suit. In addition to aiding your day with functionality, the right bag can also completely transform your outfit.
So, in celebration of the new season, we’ve curated our essential handbag guide for easy referral – a perfect treat for the festive season ahead!

The everyday carry-all
A must-have in every woman’s wardrobe, the essential shopper tote style is usually large enough to fit a laptop or iPad, with well-placed pockets for organised storage. Perfectly polished and understated, this classic style is great for work and weekends.
Pro tip: If you or a loved one is expecting, this versatile shape also makes for a chic alternative to a baby bag, without compromising on style.
The mood-boosting statement piece
For when your outfit is missing a little ‘something something’, or if you’re simply in need of a little end-of-day pick-me-up, a great statement accessory can do wonders. Think festive colours, lady-like silhouettes and eye-catching metallic finishes. This season has a plethora of styles that are perfect for both dressier and casual occasions. Divine!
