Never Underdressed's publisher Lucy Alexander on her Gucci bamboo bag

This bag is the perfect companion for those annoying in-between-season days. While it’s reassuringly robust, and is a perfectly serious ‘I-mean-business’  bag, it playfully nods to warmer climes with its quirky bamboo handle. I am a sucker for a good black bag, and can never seem to veer away from this, so am always on the look-out for one that can defy this mould ever so slightly. The Gucci ‘Bamboo’ is equally as versatile with a more casual weekend outfit – which helps get the cost-per-use down, obvs.
