Everyone wants a Designer Handbag – or a copy

Last week, before I visited the Harvey Nichols Handbag shop, I went to one of the best midweek street markets in London, Leather Lane. For women this is a fantastic place to buy clothes, shoes and, of course, replica handbags, at low prices. If you go there do not embarrass yourself like a friend of mine, and ask for a receipt!! A market like this is not a tourist rip-off joint – all the traders are licensed, and pay a high rent to be there. In spite of this there are plenty of bargains available. I bought a High Street summer top for £5 instead of £30, it fits perfectly and looks fab. Which left me more money towards my Designer Handbag Fund. While I was in Leather Lane, I noticed how many handbags were on sale: I’d say more than half the clothes stalls also carried handbags. Have a look at the photo of this handbag seller, and you will see that the craze for oversize bags is still with us!!

If you know London, you may realise that Leather Lane is just round the corner from Hatton Garden, where you could fins your ideal diamonds – maybe put them on your handbag, in the same way as Chanel have done on their Diamond Forever bag?
