SOPHIE’S SEPTEMBER FAVOURITES

“I’ve been obsessed with finding The Perfect Winter Coat ever since I was a teenager lusting over Cameron Diaz’s enviable selection in The Holiday. Well, this year, I think I’ve nailed it. Camel, belted, longline and made from ultra-warm wool, this Autograph design ticks every box on my fantasy coat list. I’ll be pulling it out every winter for years to come.”

“Bottega Veneta’s ‘croissant purse’ (so-called because of the gathered shape, not entirely dissimilar to a pastry) is one of the biggest accessory hits of recent times, but you’ll need a couple of grand spare in your checking account to get one. Luckily, this buttery leather purse does the job for me, inspired by the on-trend shape and with enough space to fit my wallet, phone and a random assortment of toddler paraphernalia inside.”
