The party season is well and truly here. The work Christmas do is marked in our calendars, Secret Santa names have been handed out, and our weekends are booked up with festive plans. 

So while you’re planning your party outfits for these events, allow us to present to you the perfect accessory: the bauble bag. 

Spherical in shape and reminiscent of the embellished decorations hanging on your tree, they’re a great way to get into the Christmas spirit. Sparkly and extravagant, you’ll struggle to find a better statement piece for your festive wardrobe.
