loving mimi london bags

As much as I'd love to regularly splurge half a months mortgage payment on purse it's just not a reality for me, and since my beloved Orla Kiely purse was stolen by some little toad earlier in the year I've been on a long search for a new perfect wallet and I think I've found it in this shiny little beauty above by Mimi Berry. It's not to big or small, has seperate zipped compartments for cash, change and cards and crucially for me isn't loaded with pointless clunky hardware causing it to take up too much room in my already overloaded handbag. I spent an embarrassingly long time deciding between whether to get the patent or grainy leather options and a further age agonising over sensible grown up black or brown or eye catching red or pink, but the 8 year old in me won so shiny pink it was and very satisfyingly it is too.

Mimi Berry graduated from Central Saint Martins in London and specialises in beautifully crafted bags and purses all manufactured in the UK. I love almost all of her designs and the quality of the Italian leather she uses is exceptional. Plus the bonus is it won't cost you an arm and a leg to buy a timeless good quality piece especially if like me you swoop in on the excellent sale on right now!
