There are many reasons why you should get the Mulberry Walter (one of the many classic mens bags in the English brand’s repertoire) and I’ll name 3. Firstly, if you’re looking for something old school to spice up your boring work attire, there’s no better alternative. It’s a good looker too, which is definitely a bonus.

Secondly, because it cleverly features push-lock closures disguised as buckles, getting access to it in a jiffy couldn’t be easier, instead of manually unbuckling and buckling the bag each time you need to retrieve something. Last but not least, the addition of the removable shoulder strap means you can use the bag hands-free and slung over your shoulder, or hand-held if you choose. Or carry it like a portfolio that’s all the rage these days.

Get it online at Mulberry for GBP775 (around SGD1560 or so before shipping and taxes), or check out the other classics on offer, including the Mulberry Elkington that is priced at GBP595 (originally Alexa Chung’s bag before Emma Hill created the Alexa for her), as well as the Lucian (GBP664).
