We don't mean to alarm anyone, but we think we may have just discovered the bag of the season… and it's all thanks to the one and only Victoria Beckham.

As anyone even remotely invested in the cycle of fashion will tell you, the minute a new season rolls around along comes that inevitable desire for a little wardrobe refresh. But while some are, perhaps wisely, investing in their outerwear repertoire or stocking up on some timeless new boots, many of us have our sights set on the industry's latest handbag offering.

So what should we be looking out for this season?

Big bags are finally, well, big again, but while micro crossbodys and mini totes are undoubtedly still ranking high on the sartorial agenda it's the clutch bag that'll be taking centre stage this autumn. And none more so than Victoria Beckham's new Chain Pouch.

Dropping in a series of hues - from classic black to a super contemporary off-white, soft lilac, rich burgundy and even a zesty lawn green - this pouch is every inch the wardrobe staple. 

Perfectly balancing timeless simplicity with elevated design details - thanks to the statement gold chain hardware - it's one of those pieces that you'll reach for time and time again, regardless of the occasion.

Best worn with your wrist slipped beneath the chain, this gold buckled strap is not only a super chic aesthetic detail but it also renders the bag a much more practical clutch style than you're likely used to. It's also the element inspired by a gift from Victoria's equally stylish husband, David, “a few seasons ago”, so you have it on good authority that this bag is not only utterly timeless but also exceptionally chic.
