Covent Garden – to shop or not to shop for handbags?
The Christmas lights in Covent Garden are on, thanks to Kylie Minogue and Charlotte Tilbury. Whilst I spotted the largest silver reindeer ever seen, so what of the Garden, the first piazza in England? A market destination since the 17th century, red light district in the 19th century; what does this neighbourhood of London offer the handbag shopper, among its pubs and street performers?

Bags to wear with your work wardrobe this winter
To prepare for this guide I chatted with quite a few women about their work bag needs. Armed with a comprehensive list of what’s in women’s work bags I began to wish Mary Poppins wasn’t a figment of Disney’s imagination, that she was on speed dial and she could reassure me there was a black leather version of her bottomless carpet bag!

Carnaby Street – to shop or not to shop for handbags?
One of my favourite bands The Jam sang of London’s shopping icon, Carnaby Street… ‘This street is a mirror for our country, reflects the rise and fall of our nation’. The lyrics note this little street’s hip times of the swinging sixties and its later decline a decade later. But what does 21st century Carnaby street offer the fashion bag shopper today?

New shops on the streets of London
Just like buses, nothing comes along for a while and then you get at least two arriving within seconds of each other. The same can be said for retailing.
