Renowned designer brand Abbot Lyon, adored by celebrities like Stacey Solomon and Kate Middleton for its exquisite jewellery, has stepped confidently into the handbag market. Their latest release, the Milan Leather Bag, is quickly becoming a must-have, with shoppers describing it as “obsessed-worthy.”
Available in two stunning colours, including a rich, autumn-inspired Burgundy, the Milan Leather Bag is crafted from 100% genuine cowhide leather, complemented by a soft cotton twill lining. A subtle embossed weave adds a touch of sophisticated texture to the exterior, elevating its luxurious feel.
Measuring a spacious 32.5cm in height by 48cm in width, this bag offers ample room to fit a laptop, makeup essentials, and more. Its secure zip-top closure keeps belongings safe, while a 29cm handle makes it easy to carry over the shoulder comfortably.

Each Milan Leather Bag comes with a premium cotton twill dust bag to preserve its pristine look upon arrival. Customers can also personalise their bag with one of five detachable charms, including initials, clovers, and hearts, adding a unique touch.
Priced at just £89, the Milan Leather Bag offers exceptional value, especially when compared to luxury counterparts like the Bottega Veneta Hop Large Leather Shoulder Bag, which retails for a staggering £4,250.
Laura Mulley, Beauty and Wellness Editor for OK!, praised the bag after putting it to the test: “As someone who travels frequently for work, I’ve been searching for a stylish yet practical bag that can comfortably accommodate my bulky laptop. The Milan bag ticks all those boxes and more.”
She elaborated, “The photo on Abbot Lyon’s website showing a laptop sliding effortlessly inside caught my attention. Upon receiving it, I was delighted to find my laptop fit perfectly alongside my daily essentials like a water bottle, purse, notebook, and phone.”
While generally comfortable thanks to its broad strap, Laura notes one shoulder bags might not be ideal for those with back issues and mentioned the strap can slip on smoother fabrics. Additionally, the bag tends to topple when placed on the floor due to a narrower base. Nonetheless, she concluded, “Despite these minor issues, I’m ecstatic about the Milan bag. It’s truly the perfect work companion without breaking the bank.”
For those seeking alternatives, options like the Radley Bridgewater Medium Ziptop Tote and the Accessorize Black Laptop Tote Bag offer varying styles and price points without compromising on quality.
