Are these the hottest bags on campus?

From Mulberry to Michael Kors, everyone loves a tote bag.

Practical and pretty, both designers and the highstreet know this fashion fad isn’t short lived, but a guaranteed sure seller every season.

We hit the Forum and found the very best of the big bags on campus; high-end to high street, the bigger the better.

So Exeter, why do we love our big ol’bags?
