Grab a hobo handbag from Altuzarra like Amal

Travelling in style, Amal Clooney jetted into Barcelona airport this week wearing a grey jumper dress teamed with a black coat and some statement leopard print boots! But it was her handbag that really caught our eye.

Great for travelling, this roomy bag has enough room to fit all your essentials in and can be worn slung over the shoulder leaving your hands free.

We love the slouchy hobo silhouette combined with the tassel detailing and plaited handle giving it a boho feel; meanwhile the black leather and gold hardware make for a luxe finish.

It's by Altuzarra and is available to buy online now at MyTheresa, simply follow the link on the right to snap it up!

The human rights lawyer has been showing off a baby bump in recent weeks and appeared to be glowing and in good spirits when she was spotted at Barcelona airport last week with the Ocean's Eleven star.

Amal kept comfy in a sweater dress that skimmed her stomach as well as opaque black tights and boots.

The notoriously private couple kept tight-lipped about pregnancy rumors when they first arose last month.

A source told InTouch in January that Amal, 39, who is of Lebanese-British descent, 'is pregnant with twins: a boy and a girl.'

The couple, who got engaged in April 2014 before tying the knot in Venice, Italy on September 27 of that year, 'feel like they’ve hit the family jackpot' in light of the big news, the source told the magazine.

'When George and Amal found out it was twins they were surprised,' the source said, 'but also a little scared because they both had said that one was enough.

'But the news that it was a boy and a girl made them both really happy ... they can’t believe in just a few months, they’re going to have two babies.'  

In addition to InTouch, Amal's pregnancy with twins was reported by The Lebanon Daily Star earlier this year. 

Amal joins another high-profile star who's expecting twins this year. 

Last week singer Beyonce confirmed she is preparing to welcome twins with husband Jay Z.

Rumors: A source told InTouch last month that Amal, 39, who is of Lebanese-British descent, 'is pregnant with twins: a boy and a girl.'
