Fashion Week handbag essentials

During New Zealand Fashion Week, the Fashion Quarterly team is stationed on the ground, writing furiously, invading your Instagram and Snapchatting up a storm – so there’s barely any time to think about anything else.

That’s why we’ve got packing our handbags down to a fine art, because getting caught short just isn’t an option. Whether you’re heading down to NZFW too, or planning a big day out of your own, these hectic schedule staples should serve you right.
