Right I have decided the best way to update your fashion wardrobe is to splash out on the latest 'it' bag. This psat season several 'it factors' have emerged rather than an 'it bag brand'

Last year, the luxury super-soft treated skins used for the Zagliani bags got really popular for their innovative fashionable bags. In 2007 these bags were shown mostly with a hefty £1500 price tag but now you can get a small clutch for £550, but a large croc bag costs £6785.

This year, nothing has stood out as a must-have bag. However, both croc and ostrich textures have proved popular for the fashion designs coming from the high end retailers. This lovely trio of bags by Osprey is their Ava style. Ava is made from polished croc embossed leather, with silver lock and key.

The Ava bag size is perfect - not too big and not too small. Never mind the fashion trends, like all 'good' quality bags, it has a studded base. There is one convenient outside pocket, which would be perfect for keys, small change or a mobile phone as well as two inside pockets. But for me, the most appealing 'it factor' is the adjustable underarm shoulder strap, so that the bag can sit on your shoulder too :)
