Ginghamsatchel

With a whole slew of Bank Holidays on the way, we'll all be making excuses to get our picnic sets and barbecues on the go in the next few weeks. If you're looking for something to add some quaint country chic to proceedings, this Professional Picnicker Satchel by German brand Blutsgeschwister is a must.

The bag is roomy and practical, thanks to the large side folded compartments held within, without being half as bulky as baskets and cooler boxes. The use of cream leather and a classic red gingham check throughout give this bag the retro looks that will make it tempting to use for every occasion you can.

It's available online from ModCloth for $89.99.
