Stella, the british queen of faux leather has come out with this stunner of a backpack, prefect for that girl who wants to stand out in the crowd, but only in the most subtle way. It’s by far one of my favourites in that midnight blue shade, with the almost metallic feel to the ‘leather’ and edged up with the chain trim.

6. Verity backpack, £275 by Whistles

Wonderfully white this Whistles bag is seriously dreamy. Yes, ok, a little impractical with the old London dirt but styled over the shoulder with a summer dress, plimsoles and pair of sunnies? It’s a look worth bringing out the baby wipes for.

Built for purpose, this Barbour backpack is ideal for those who want something that can be used both in the city and out in the country. It’s waterproof and traditional in style, yet the leather buckle clasps and trimming add a certain class to this ‘Ms Practical’ backpack (also ideal for sharing with the boy too).
