Bags me the messy one!

-

BARONESS MICHELLE MONE, who made her fortune making bras, was at the state opening of parliament last week carrying a £17,000 Hermes Kelly handbag as she took her place in the House of Lords.

Good grief, what is it about handbags?

Financial experts are now saying luxury bags can be a much better investment than stocks and shares.

You can buy a Gucci bag for a mere £900, a Louboutin bag from £1300 or a Fendi bag will knock you back £2320.

I sort of crave a classic Mulberry – but common sense prevails.

Every handbag I have ever owned ends up with a messy lining with crumbs in the bottom, sweetie papers, leaky pen ink stains, a torn pocket where I shoved my mobile phone in too roughly, a damp patch of spilled perfume. An investment? No way. I’ll make do with my bargain basement shoulder bag which I carry my life around in.

Messy, but mine – just the way I like it.
