Money, money, money

I need a new purse. My old faithful from Zara, which I've had for years has been perfect, but has a broken zip.

I love leather goods - love, love, love - they are something I will spend serious money on, if the quality and style is right. A purse purchase has to be an exacting one, because if it's not right, you'll hate it. You use it too often to compromise. I was prepared for a long, hard slog to find my perfect partner. But then I happened upon this purse in a chazzy, and job done - new purse, secured.

But if you're not lucky enough to find something similar in the chazzies, here are some other options. I found the best selection at House of Fraser, so if you're on the hunt for a new purse, have a good search on their website.
