@abimarvelWe're quickly heading towards the end of December, and the demands of the festive season are upon us. Between parties, social gatherings and time away with loved ones, you'll likely be doing your fair share of travelling over the next few weeks. With gifts, clothes and toiletries all coming in tandem, having a great handbag that not only looks the part but also works hard for you is a non-negotiable. Beyond the requirements of the festive period, I'm newly inspired by some of my favourite style icons to shop a large, black bag to see me through the season and beyond. From Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to Katie Holmes and Hailey Bieber, all of my favourite celebrities have been spotted as of late with a black oversized accessory in their clutches.

Whether running between meetings, heading out for the night or enjoying a busy day, even the most fashionable celebs can't resist the practicality of a black, spacious bag.

For commuting to and from the office, your bag should be big enough to carry a laptop, charger, notepad, glasses (prescription and/or sun), a snack or two and your makeup must-haves—and that's in addition to the essentials. If you're anything like me, your work bag quickly reaches capacity, so I must argue that the bigger the bag, the better.

BackgridMe? I managed to find my perfect large, black handbag thanks to the plethora of secondhand designer styles that abound on the likes of eBay and Vestiaire Collective. But if you're looking for brand-spanking new, this kind of classic style is always available across a wide spectrum of price points.
