Jenna Ortega's favourite new bag is the back-to-work tote we all need

As September rolls around once more, many of us will be taking stock of our wardrobes, folding away the floaty dresses and strappy sandals of summer in favour of those trusty autumnal staples. One thing that may well be on your new-season shopping list is a new bag: nothing inspires a spot of accessory shopping quite like that back-to-work feeling.

If you're after a suggestion, Jenna Ortega has a great one. The actor has been seen multiple times this month – both in London and Venice – carrying the Tod's Di Swing bag, a star from the new season's fresh influx of designer bags.

Straight from the AW24 runway (where it was debuted by Irina Shayk, no less), the Di Swing is creative director Matteo Tamburini's first reinterpretation of the original '90s design, which has been a house icon for more than 30 years. With two top handles (just long enough to be swung from your shoulder) and an optional longer strap, it's designed to be worn in multiple ways, with a clever zip that manipulates the shape of the main body.

Anyone after a designer bag that doesn't compromise function for form will be happy here: the Di Swing is sized for busy days, easily accommodating a laptop or pair of commuter trainers, and contains those valuable details – think internal pockets and protective metal feet – that elevate an investment piece, yet are so often absent from today's 'It' designs. Consider it the perfect jumping-off point for an expertly edited, brilliantly wearable new-season wardrobe.
