This year’s picture bag from Radley has a beautiful reference to the great British seaside.  In lovely soft leather, the bag comes with a zip top purse and both items have cleverly hand-crafted leather applique pieces and stitch detail.  The reverse of the bag also has decoration with a cute bird picking up scraps from the beach next to sandcastles.

Love the design?  An umbrella, wallet and foldaway tote bag in the same range are also available.

On the day when the Daily Mail publish an article about the average amount each woman spends on handbags in their lifetime, bags like the one above show just how easy it is for us to fall in love with and feel passionate about our bags!  The article says that “one in five women consider bags their most important wardrobe items ahead of shoes, skirts and blouses.  More than half confessed to getting ‘bag envy’ when they spotted other women with desirable specimens in their clutches”.  Who will get ‘bag envy’ over this bag?
