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 have to fly you will need something to cheer you up during the tedious security and baggage checks. These stylish Flight Bags by Calvin Klein will fit the bill for any handbag diva, with their clean lines and useful zipped pockets.

Some say the look is quite retro, well if that means understated and tasteful then let’s have some more handbags like this one. The Calvin Klein Dome Satchel Flight Bag measures just 12.5″W x 10″H x 5.5″D, so it will not hold very much - but the airlines are so strict now, that is immaterial. Just pack a lipstick and maybe a mascara and you should get an upgrade! Colours available for the Calvin Klein flight bag include black, brown, champagne and red. You should be able to get this designer handbag at a price of around $150 equivalent if you look around at the discount designer handbags online shops. 
The understated English style of Mulberry bags is a favoutrite of mine and I am glad to see that this brand is becoming well respected around the world. The Mulberry Bayswater is a sell-out at net-a-porter but you can still buy it direct from Mulberry or, better still, from one of the other discount houses like Boutique Marcella. 
This classic handbag comes with three inside pockets, a bronze front lock with padlock and bronzed feet to prevent damage to the leather if you put the bag down. I would keep it in my arms for 
Louis Vuitton is a name that was once synonymous with high quality luggage, which has been produced by the house of Louis Vuitton since 1854. Louis Vuitton is the renowned subsidiary of LVMH, the first group of companies that specialized in high-end, luxury products.
