I love anything vintage, check these oh so beautiful bags out by Sweetheart by Lie down I think I love you. The  brand is designed by Emily who went to Central St. Martins Fashion School.

These handbags are made of leather from Scotland.

 Each bag is unique, as the hand picked vintage silk scarves are chosen to match to the body, therefore no 2 bags are the same. That makes me smile as I never like to  have the same handbag as anyone…….

This clip top framed style has the scarf  that can be removed and replaced to suit your mood.

These bags are nostalgic, they are beautifully crafted and I will have to buy all the collection of bags to get a beautiful collection of vintage silk scarves…….

Do you love them too?

Oh la la, don’t you just love everything that is French.  This Un Apres -Midi du Chien  Buggati East/West Shoulder Bag in leather epitomises French chic. It is patent and has a wonderful sheen.

The design team Alain and Martine are based in Paris and this is where they get their inspiration from to create beautiful designer handbags.  Merci beaucoup Alain and Martine for bags that have a Parisienne feel!

I love having lots of handbags, although my bank manager prefers me not too. However, he will love this Nica Sycamore Large Pleated Shoulder Bag, as it  faux leather, therefore he will love the price. More importantly, I love it. The colour is perfect for Spring. The embellishment of gold hardware and pretty embroidery makes this handbag a must have  for the season. The material is soft and slouchy and as it is a shoulder bag it is easy to carry. So let this be our secret, the most perfect bag at a perfect price.

Hooray , January has ended. Credit cards are paid off and I can now shop for  new season’s handbags. The cool London brand, Ri2k has got the leather handbag, that will be my first purchase from the new collections. The Ri2K Katriona Bucket is the new shape to have, it has bags of room, which I need as I carry everything in my bag .  Now the colour, burnt orange, how fab is that. I can wear it to cheer up the ubiquitous black outfit. Antique gold hardware also updates the trim on this handbag. I am in agreement with the Fashion Director of Cosmopolitan, ShellyVella, Ri2k have stylish quality bags at a price point you can afford.
