There are few things we like shopping for more than handbags. For one, we don’t have to try them on, and, in most cases, the right one is always love at first site. Of course, summer places additional burdens on our our bag-carrying shoulders. We need totes that are lightweight for long walks but that still pack a punch in terms of design and craftsmanship.

Following the success of her jewelry line last year, television personality Nicole Richie decided to make the full push with her House of Harlow 1961, adding clothing, footwear, and sunglasses to the brand’s collection. Now one of the label’s producers says Richie is going to stamp her name on a few handbags next spring.

Rock chic: The Glastonbury takes its name from Moss's favourite festival.
Hot on the heels of the news that Kate Moss would design for Longchamp comes the first look at one of the handbags from the collection.
The emerald green pochette, whose color I love, I wanted to be very simple, based on the shape of an envelope. I would wear it with all black or all navy.
