Handbag Hunter

What does the contents of your handbag, or your wallet, say about you? It’s no secret that Cambridge students live stressful, overworked lives, and that chances are you’ll be lugging round everything, including the kitchen sink, just in case, in your chic tote/satchel/extremely-on-trend vintage backpack (thank God for bike baskets, eh?).  Yet despite all of the work and stress, many Cambridge students still manage to pull off looking chic, as admirably demonstrated right here on the blog. So, in the interests of journalistic integrity we’re breaking that taboo and having a nosy peak into some lovely ladies’ handbags. It turned out to be a rather amazing insight into their lives and personalities- so tip out the contents of your own and have a cheeky analyse. You’ll be surprised what your find…

Here is a sampling of 3 Cambridge students – managing to mix practicality with fashion.
