Fred Perry tonal barrel bag: £80, Fred Perry
There’s no barrel bag quite like a Fred Perry one. They’re durable, good-looking and have a surprising
amount of storage. The zipped compartment at one end is perfect for your easy-to-access items, while the
spacious main section offers room for tonnes of belongings. It comes with a sturdy webbed handle, but for
when it’s a little heavier, the detachable strap will do the job.
