I think it was my ‘Handbag Collection’ video a few months back where I said that I was quite happy with my bag posse as it was and I didn’t foresee any new additions in the near future. Well…
The moral of the story is don’t follow your favourite accessory designers on Instagram. I’m a big lover of Sophie Hulme – yep, I’m a fangirl. I love her minimal but chic creations, all with gold hardware (a must for me!) and with a fun little twist. A dinosaur keying? NEED. I’m not a designer bag gal, but when it comes to the Hulme, my knees go weak. So when I spotted the Albion Square Small Shopper in Black on her feed and during a browse on Selfridges, I pondered it for a few weeks then did the deed taking the bank balance depleting punishment.
The resulting purchase though is a beaut. It’s a good ‘day bag’ size; meaning that I can squeeze in keys, phone, my purse, sunglasses, a few million lip products and a small bottle of water. Plus, there’s a sneaky little side zip to keep everything safe. It’s pretty, but practical too.
Right, that’s it Sophie – I think I’ve got to unfollow (obviously joking – how could I ever unfollow such a drool-worthy feed dammit!).
