This little black crossbody from Merryl Tielman is honestly chic and so easy to wear. It's made from beautiful vegetable-tanned cow leather, which just feels really nice, and the inside has this super soft microfibre lining. Don't let the 'mini' size fool you though; it's properly clever for keeping your essentials in check. It's got a smart magnetic flap closure for the main compartment, and inside there’s a zipped pocket plus dedicated card slots. Perfect for your phone, cards, keys – all those bits you need to hand without fumbling around. The slim design means it won't feel bulky at all, and you can adjust or even remove the strap completely if you want to tuck it into a bigger tote. Seriously, it works for pretty much anything, whether you're just popping out for errands, heading to work, or off to a dinner date. A proper essential, really.
