“I like bags that are spacious, not too bulky and with plenty of compartments so I can properly organise my things. Colour-wise, I like sombre shades and neutrals, and simple classy details like gold hardware, which adds instant sophistication. And I love the option of having a long or short strap!”
Favourite handbag brands: “Senreve and Carolina Herrera. The Carolina Herrera Duke bag, which I currently own, was a very versatile buy as it’s roomy and comes in neutral beige and pink tones.”

TJIN LEE
Managing director of Mercury “My everyday bag is definitely large enough to fit a laptop, and I like one that’s structured and made of good leather. Style-wise, I always look for something that stands out against my signature black and white outfits, so I’m not afraid to be adventurous: I love colour! The bag I’m carrying right now is a Burberry with checks and studs, I also like the option of shoulder straps with handcarry features.”
Favourite handbag brands: “Céline, Coach, Mulberry and Burberry are my go-to brands, because their designs are modern and contemporary.”
Style vibe: “I’m usually in a white shirt matched with either a black skirt or culottes, as I like the idea of going from day to night in my outfit. A white shirt and black skirt combo is perfect because you can pair it with loafers to go casual, or with heels to look formal. Culottes are also a practical choice, because I can chase my kids around in them! Because my favourite hue is red, I tend to choose bright accessories for a pop of colour.”
