Deal & Wire
If you've had enough of glitter and sparkle but are still on the hunt for a glamorous evening bag, then look no further. The Deal and Wire collection has been created by Kim Golding, who in the past has collaborated with Pauric Sweeney and is now regarded as one of London's hottest young accessories designers.



Minna Black by Deal and Wire, £395 Available from Harvey Nichols

Black goat suede, studded black patent leather straps, embellished with brass horse tackle chains and with big brass hoop handles to clutch in your hand or sling over your forearm, it's big enough to pack in all the essentials but small enough to dance round.

Monochrome: 20 quid @ www.mango.com
This high street beauty is understated and elegant but quirky enough to stand out in a crowd, with its black bead clasp and delicate rope handle. Best of all, white is going to be huge this summer so you will be way ahead of the game.
