For me, out of my rather large handbag selection choosing a handbag which means a lot to me is difficult, I mean they all mean so much (my waning bank account would agree....!) However there is one bag which I come back to time and time again as it never fails to add that finishing touch to an outfit and to get me a compliment.... even if I am having a horribly bad hair day! My purple Billy Bag holdall is a stunner!

I brought it about 18 months ago when I was working at my first proper job after University and I was more than happy and very over excited when I opened the package and realised that it was just as gorgeous as I imagined! I instantly transferred all my belongings and my growing receipt collection into and headed off into town... and on its first outing it received numerous ‘I love your bag’ and ‘where did you get your bag from?’ comments, and I have to say I loved all the attention I.. sorry I mean my bag.... was getting! Also it’s a big bag! Which is my main criteria in a handbag as being prepared for every eventuality is a must and to be honest.... surely carrying around a large handbag counts towards my daily exercise routine? So even on the rainiest, darkest and bluest Monday morning my purple handbag will lift my mood and my outfit!
