Alexander McQueen, Elvie patent leather tote
It's almost impossible to create something attractive in lime green. However, we think McQueen has done a good job with this glamorous bag. Although fashionistas, please note: he called it 'jungle green'.

See by Chloé accessories, soft strap bucket bag
OK, OK, so Chloé isn't exactly a British label, but it is headed up by a British designer - Hannah MacGibbon. And we loved this bag too much to leave it out. It's so, erm, slouchy.

Accessorize, doctor's bag
You might not keep your stethoscope and thermometer in this neat little bag, but it will hold all your essentials - and look cute at the same time.
