To say we love the convenience of an oversized tote is an understatement, but sometimes (this season especially) we crave a petite cross-body bag. So leave your novel, spare sweater and umbrella (risky in Melbourne, we know!) at home and swing a new style with these tips from MIMCO stylist, Chantelle.

"Hip Bags are the hottest trend this season and the perfect way to add a pop of colour or print to your outfit!

Style your hip bag cross-body over a man-style shirt with wide leg trousers, red lipstick and a statement earring for a chic off-duty look. Moving into winter your hip bag looks great styled over a coat or jacket just like in our campaign.”
