Now then.
There are many many thousands of covetable handbags out there….. from your classic Hermes Birkin, to your statement hot pink Mulberry Bayswater, to your logo lovers monogrammed Louis Vuitton Brentwood. Utterly delectable pieces of arm candy with waiting lists of a gazillion models, actresses and TV personalities.
And do you know what?
There is still no bag on earth that turns my head and makes me do a little dance of glee as much as one designed by Lulu Guiness.
Blame my mother if you will, for it was she who bestowed upon me my first ever LG piece of unique kitsch perfection. A large black shopper with patent edging and a giant stiletto shoe embroidered motif, all those many years ago.
For the most part I try and avoid the LG website for fear of wanting EVERYTHING in sight.
Except right now of course with the sole reason of sharing what’s on offer with all of you lovely lovely readers.
( OK well a maybe a little bit for my own viewing pleasure)

This year marks Lulu Guiness’s 20th anniversary and in a recent interview celebrating her two decades of success she was quoted as saying ” As long as my bags are conversation pieces I am happy”
Well they certainly are that lady.
So if you’re looking for an ultra glam accessory to add the perfect finish to your wedding guest ensemble look no further than Madam LG.
I want THEM ALL.

P.S Was just thinking – how cool would the crystal encrusted lips clutch look as a bridal evening bag?! so wish I had thought of that.
I have loved LG since I saw the bag she designed that was inspired by glam rock and reminded me of the girls world I had when I was a little girl. I now own two of her bags and they go with everything and are so unusual that they will never go out of style xx
Oh No I’ve just clicked on their website and want to change my xmas wish list!!!
i’m loving the lips/lipstick pendants and the patent red bags xxx
Cheryl I know what you mean pet. I have my beady eyes on the black satin Pollyanna and the black perspex clutch. My list is getting HUGE.
Stacey I am very jealous, I want to own more!

I love Lulu Guiness and especially her shoes. I have got some beautiful snake skin shoes from LG which I have worn to many a wedding. Lovely stuff, though not sure about her city Tote collection
I’m not usually a fan of LG but that Grey Wool ‘Wanda’ – my my she’s cute! xXx
I’m lucky enough to pass the City LG shop on the way to and from work every day and usually lust after the latest bags in the window most days.
For our honeymoon I bought the Quilted Lips Large Edith in cream colour. I absolutely love it! It went with everything and can’t wait to go on another sunshine holiday to give it another outing!
