Super smooth and comfortable enough to lay your head on in the park, the bigger the better we say. And, thanks to the quilted pattern, your valuables will be well protected from bumps and knocks.

Quilted Maxi Crossbody Bag, Zara, £29.99
Update your workwear wardrobe with this sturdy yet soft crossbody bag. It comes with a wide handle (just in case your shoulders get tired), and it’ll fit all your important documents in. With a magnetic clasp, it’s easy to get inside.
This tartan design will add a burst of colour to your outfit and the oversized tote design makes it ideal for the weekly grocery shop, weekend trips, or the gym.
If you’re searching for a handbag that will work across all areas of your life, invest in this metallic design. It’s not cheap, but it’s a spacious statement piece that’s an all-rounder. The inner zip compartment will keep your valuables extra safe, too.
Staud Stella Plaited-Handle Drawstring Bag, Matches, £160
If you’re after something more playful than practical, take a look at Staud, whose fashion-forward bags are a joy. It’s not quilted, but it’s soft, squidgy, and just as fun. Plus, it adds a pop of colour to your wardrobe.
This handy clutch is an affordable way to try out the trend without breaking the bank. The holographic colour-way is fun (and will be the perfect headrest on the night bus home).
