LEATHERS: BAGS OF STYLE!

Whether you're hitting the beach, the pool or the road, keep a stylish holdall to hand!

 Although we're not against small suitcases with wheels for practical purposes, especially when travelling for business, you can't beat a good old-fashioned holdall in the style stakes.

You should be thinking spontaneity, adventure and style, and not look as if you're trundling off to the annual cost-cutting conference. Check the gallery below to see five holdalls that fit the bill.
