Bottega’s cult Jodie satchel oozes quiet luxury. The buzzy accessory is characterised by the Italian label’s signature woven lattice detailing and slouchy silhouette, becoming the latest A-lister go-to – with a premium price tag to match.
Coming in a range of sizes and colours, the smallest candy Jodie will set you back £2,150, while the medium style costs £3,050. But if you’re looking to get the designer look for less, Anthropologie has come through.
When word got out last year, it unsurprisingly, sold out – but now it’s back for all your transitional dressing needs. The Melie Bianco bag is crafted from soft, vegan-friendly leather and comes in seven colourways. In fact, the LA-based label is one of our favourite vegan handbag brands, owing to designs that are far more luxurious than their prices suggest.
Whether you opt for the sleek black, bright green or light pink, the bag is an all-year-round staple. Here’s how to get your hands on one in time for the season ahead.

Designed in a satchel silhouette, Melie Bianco’s bag also boasts woven lattice detailing and a distinctive handle knot. Better still, it’s crafted from soft, vegan-friendly leather, making it a more ethical purchase.
A similar size to Bottega’s mini Jodie bag, the spacious satchel leaves ample room for your valuables. Slotting seamlessly into your wardrobe for summer, there are seven colourways to choose from, including light pink, bright green, gold and blue. But it’s the bold red finish that we’re eyeing up.

If you’re looking for the original, Bottega’s mini Jodie bag is well worth the investment. Adding some texture to your ensembles, the woven lattice detailing is a classic for good reason, while the lamb skin leather ensures its durability.
Coming in a choice of 15 finishes, you’re bound to find one that suits your taste. Designed in a laidback, slouchy, satchel style, it’s practical enough for the office yet sufficiently stylish to tuck under your arm at the weekend.
