There’s been one unlikely handbag spotted at Wimbledon this week, with multiple stars seen carrying Antler’s tote bag that’s known for fitting Ryanair’s hand luggage restrictions
We’ve been eagerly keeping our eye on this year’s Wimbledon guests to see what summer occasionwear trends they’re sporting, and amongst the polka dot prints and tennis white colour palettes, there’s been one unexpected accessory topping the list of must-have items. Antler’s Heritage Tote Bag has been seen on the arms of celebrities like Saffron Hocking, Emma Appleton and Millie Brady, who have no doubt picked it for its combination of style and practicality.
The tote bag is of course handy for day to day use, but it’s also the perfect choice if you’re planning on travelling over the summer, as its dimensions happen to fit Ryanair’s notoriously strict hand luggage measurements perfectly. As the budget airline has recently increased its size restrictions by 20% to 40cm by 30cm by 20cm, the Heritage Tote Bag now fits perfectly within those measurements, coming in at 30cm by 40cm by 16 cm.

The handy tote bag is ideal for keeping all of your essentials safely stored and organised, whether it’s for a weekend away or running errands (or heading to Wimbledon, of course). It has secure internal zip pockets to keep things like laptop, tablets and personal items in order and protected, and there’s even a handy internal water bottle holder to stop any spills and keep your bottle within reach.
The outer material is a water-repellent organic cotton canvas to keep it dry in all weather, and features leather handles and trims for that added luxury touch. The Heritage Tote Bag also has a back strap which can be slotted over the handles of your suitcase to make carrying all of your luggage easier.
Although Millie Brady was spotted carrying a black version of the bag, the tote is currently only available in the taupe ‘sandstone’ colour, and is priced at £195. If you want some other colour options, we found an affordable alternative on Amazon with the Underseat Cabin Bag priced at £19.99 and coming in an impressive 19 different colours.
It’s also a smaller size, measuring 40cm by 20cm by 25cm, which fits Ryanair’s original smaller cabin bag measurements and gives you peace of mind that your bag will fit while they upgrade their bag sizers across airports. You can also get a similar look with Kipling’s Art Handbag with Detachable Straps, which is on sale down from £98 to £68.60 and has larger measurements.
However if you want to get the celeb-approved look, you can pick up Antler’s Heritage Tote Bag from the Antler website now.
