Who doesn’t love to raid their mum’s wardrobe from time to time? My mum has amazing style and it’s always fun borrowing a few of her pieces (fortunately, she doesn’t mind!).

I’ll admit that while I tend to buy handbags that are so tiny they can barely fit anything inside on the small side, my mum prefers to buy handbags that are practical.

This Longchamp Penelope tote bag is perfect for day or night. It’s a great size for holding notebooks, magazines, make-up and a few gadgets. The grained leather is super soft and doesn’t mark easily. How wonderful! I love the double straps and the tassel detailing.

How about you? Are there any fashion items you love to borrow from your mum?
