I want, I want: Hermes apple bag
Who knows where the apple bag trend started? I don’t, nor do I care. I first spotted this Missoni one (above) in Vogue last year – or perhaps it was the year before – but silly me, was too slow off the mark to scoop one up. Then there was the Hermes ‘apple holder‘ outcry. Who on earth would want or use such a frivolous thing? (Um, me?)
Now, Alice Temperley has jumped on the band bagwagon with this tasty twosome in festive red and green. Hopelessly impractical but utterly delicious!

They're fabulous! I'm pretty sure Topshop are doing fruit bags.
Actually, they have violins:

But no fruit yet. Oh well, it's only a matter of time!

I have a teapot bag. And I can completely understand your need for an apple bag. As long as you can get some cash in there, a phone, lipgloss and your house keys your set!
I really like the red Missioni one from the Vogue pic.

SO.
cute!!
I don’t think I could ever use one as I have waaaay to much junk with me at all times but they are lovely

They are really sweet. I don’t even think my phone would fit in there though.

Ooooh, I echo this impractical desire. Adorable!

Oh god, the Hermes green apple bag/holder thingy … just rad.

I’m sure they’ve got them in dorothy Perkins too!
Obviously I’d want the Hermes one but I am living a vocarious lux life whereas DP’s si more my reality!
