Georgie loves this... because dancing across the skyline of hazy Munich the new MCM (Mode Creation Munich) mini tote makes us nostalgic for the heady days of the 1970s in the city when the label emerged as the choice of luxury handbag.

Capturing again the essence of that time MCM is finding new favour with those who might not have been there in the furore surrounding the label the first time around. The crafted leather in soft tan with its famous monogram is a mini slice of German glamour and hits on the shrinking bag trend as everyone seems to be trading in their extra-large totes for chic, travel sized numbers.

MCM was created in Munich in 1976 when the city was crackling with talent and creativity. The label quickly garnered favour with a host of starlets and global jet-setters keen to sport the monogrammed luggage and bags. Among its many fans it was famously carried by Diana Ross in Paris and is loved by one time face of the label, Cindy Crawford.

Georgie loves this… because whilst the British weather may be trying it's hardest to remind us that it was oh so foolish to think summer had arrived, this Newbark tote is defiantly pushing the rain into submission. The bold sunny hit of colour (ticking the colour blocking trend) brightens up the pavements of a soggy city.

Their classic taupe leather bag's been given summer staple status with the strip of bright yellow and oversized proportions perfect for cramming in those beach towels and picnics. Well, one can but dream.
