Tignanello Handbags Tonight

I like a tote bag when I'm not shopping or walking far. Friends of ours lived in Bangkok for several years and bought me a knock-off Mulberry tote (one of the most popular/common shapes) in black and I used it every day when going to the office. I then found a dark cherry coloured one - absolutely identical - in a charity shop for £5.

I've shown them to a Mulberry aficionado who reckons the leather, hardware and labels are spot on but the inferior checked lining fabric would give them away.

My all time favourite bag would have to be a Kelly bag. I have a mahoosive Italian one in exquisite black leather that belonged to my mother, a navy leather mock croc from T.M. Lewin (50% off) and a very, very nice grey faux leather mock croc one from a TOWIE-type shop for £10 (reduced from £50 because of an imperceptible graze on its bottom)!

I never show my bottom to anyone so didn't care.
