Lunchtime buy: Marc by Marc Jacobs rain tote

It’s officially the month of April showers – great for cooling off, but not so great for our fresh frizz-free hair – and we’ve forgotten our umbrella.

But this scenario will be a worry no more with Marc by Marc Jacobs’ fully functional rain tote (yes, we said tote). This bag isn’t just rainproof (thanks, PVC) but it has an unbelievably clever umbrella sleeve complete with a matching spotty umbrella!

Super cute, right?

But don’t go thinking this is just a girlie gimmick – if a hair-saving device isn’t enough for you to splash the cash, maybe the beautiful design of the tote itself will sway your sartorial feelings.

In a navy or red polka dot design, it contains pockets and compartments aplomb for all your essentials – plus, it’s got a splash of whimsical charm with a striped interior and contrasting coloured corners.

Marc Jacobs has once again proved that fashion really can be functional and fun, and if the rain outside is anything to go by, we all need to snap this tote up pronto.
