Rockstar bag

All hail the cross-body bag. If you’ve had it with kitchen-sink sized bags, drooping shoulders, losing keys and pens in the black-hole at the bottom of your oversize, then Asos.com have this rockin’ quilted and studded over-body bag. Perfect for a chapstick, a house key and a biro. Part Chanel. Part Rock. Charock. Or Rocknel we call it. See Miss Deyn sporting one.

His collection for Lens is “about volume, craftsmanship, size, and silhouettes.
