This month Georgie Coleridge Cole, editor of SheerLuxe.com , the definitive guide to the finest in online shopping, has selected ten totes that'll carry you through from now until summer in serious style.

Georgie says "With such a notoriously short spring / summer season if you're on a tight budget, there's no point spending a fortune on fashions. A great tote is however a worthwhile investment; even if the weather is a disappointment and you barely make it out of your cashmere and in to your camis, you can sport your tote whatever the weather to instantly give any outfit a touch of class.
