Following the sucess of the bright coloured leather shoppers in the medium size and large round size, we’ve decided to go even bigger and try a large square shopper shape. This bag really is a carry-all!
So far, we have just one colour in stock. This bright orange bag comes with shoulder length handles so it will fit nicely over one shoulder, or carry it in one hand. The large front slip pocket is perfect for housing all those things you need instant access to and inside there is a zip pocket in the lining, as well as a key clip and phone & purse pockets.
Unlike the other bags in the ‘Shopping’ collection, this one has a zip top so you can close all your belongings inside.
Just in, it will be on our website later today, and at £70 for such a big bag (40cm x 30cm x 10cm), it’s a bargain not to be missed. Use it for school, work or take it to the beach – perfect for all occasions!

I posted this photo on Facebook and Twitter this week and it got quite a few ‘wow’ comments. Since it is such a fabulous photo (taken professionally by guy sitting backwards on a ‘normal’ motorbike – and at about 50mph!), my marketing mentor Jim Connolly suggested I use it in a new blog post. Me:…
