Key trends for both patents and brights is set to continue, and this fabulous purple patent shopper from the new Laura Ashley collection ticks both boxes.  The bag is also available in black, but purple is the one we will focus on.

As you can see from the image there are lots of pockets on the outside of the bag, most of which have clever turnlock fastenings with the exception of one zipped pocket.  Internally there is a further zipped pocket and mobile holder with a zipped top for the bag itself.  No bag is ever totally secure but I prefer to choose bags without open pockets that can be tempting for stray hands!

A pretty daisy print fabric forms the lining of this bag which gets my thumbs up.
