Black+Blum’s casual tote bag is insulated and 100 per cent leakproof, so it’ll take you from office or gym to picnic without a hitch. Keep your bottle of wine cool in the insulated inner compartment and tuck a laptop in the dry section, well away from picnic gear. Up to 13 plastic bottles are recycled to create the material for each bag (£44.95, black-blum.com). For a more compact option, check out the brand’s insulated bottle bag. It comes in an adjustable design, with a reinforced crossbody or shoulder strap, and there is a secure pocket for your phone and keys — or a corkscrew. Available in four colours, it takes up minimal space and promises to come into its own at festivals. (£19.95, black-blum.com). Anyone looking to up their bucket bag game on a budget won’t do much better than the Hinza model, a classic in Sweden made from hard-wearing recyclable plastic that won’t fall apart after just one summer.
