A friend introduced me to another brand of affordable bags. It’s Cath Kidston and she specializes in printed items from clothing, accessories, bags and home products.

She began by selling the vintage fabrics, wallpapers and brightly-painted junk furniture she remembered fondly from her childhood. Her clever, witty re-working of traditional English country house style meant that her shop soon became a cult success.

The prices are way cheaper than Longchamp handbags but since they are all so pretty, I probably will need to get a payday loan if I want to buy all the styles that I want. And believe me! I have so much stuff that I want to purchase. I’m such a girly girl that seeing her printed floral just makes me want to unearth my old floral tops and skirts too.
