Tuesday's has NOTHING to do with Valentines... it is this fabulous trompe l'oeil tote bag

Today's Object of Desire has nothing to do with Valentines. It is NOT wildly expensive undies in black and red that you will never wear, nor some overpriced gew-gaw festooned with hearts that holds less appeal than root-canal work...

It is this clever, quirky tote bag in white canvas printed with an iconic quilted bag, making it just the most totemic and eye-catching carry-all bag in the history of, well, canvas tote bags...

It is clever and fun, and although £70 is not exactly cheap for a canvas bag, this one is a good size, and has a wide gusset making it very roomy. And it is very nicely made, making it your go-to bag for shopping trips or poolside. And, it is available in both red and blue printed on white.

It is made by the quirky bag company Thursday Friday, of whom we have become instant fans.
