This little shop is filled with good bargains. From cheapy to elegant, formal to beach…read more A selection of purses, mostly not my taste, but jolly useful for presents to little girls. If you are a handbag lady, this shop is for you as it stocks a range of colours, styles and prices. I'm a one bag girl, but now I'm going to get a little black number to use with my black coat. There are small backpacks - the type school children use for as little as £5. The beach bags/summer shoppers are varied and some are so pretty and feminine. The staff are very friendly indeed and will recommend a better option if you explain what you want. There are some friends I won't go in here with - I'll never get out!!

Wonderful service by Shariff and his dad is a lovely character too!…read moreHad an urgent request to fix a heavy duty camera bag for the Goodwood Car Festival. Shariff was open and honest about the cost and quality of the repair so I didn't expect too much BUT he managed to turn it around within a few hours and it looks wonderful, like nothing was wrong with it. Really impressed with the service, speed and quality of work. The response time is great and really helped me in a bind. Lovely family run business, would definitely recommend.

When it came to Christmas shopping last year, this place really saved my bacon. My mum had decided…read morethat for Christmas she wanted a new leather handbag, but not of the kind that you might find in Debenhams or House of Fraser, oh no, this had to be a different kind of handbag. The kind of handbag that literally doesn't exist. Anywhere - or so I was beginning to believe. After days of trawling through all of the usual suspects on the high street, the site of the mythical object, tucked away within the hallowed walls of Domo, was enough to bring tears to my eyes. But wait, there was more. Not only was the item in question far cheaper than I had expected, but when I went to the till to pay, I was informed that it was "buy one get one free" on everything in the shop. Everything! So, as it turned out, Domo managed to not only save Christmas, but also grant me a brand new laptop bag, completely free of charge. So there you have it - get down to Domo and bag yourself a bargain. (Sorry, I couldn't resist).

An expensive but top quality luggage store, with handbags and purses too…read more The leather items are absolutely gorgeous - both to look at and to touch. They have all sorts of fabrics and lots of shapes of luggage. Certainly something for everyones taste I should think. You do pay for the name, I think. I still use a leather weekend bag I got in Africafor about 50 Dinar when I was twenty two, and took with me there last year!!!!!

Going on holiday? Need new suitcases? Then look no further! This should be your first stop…read more Rather than hunting through department stores for a limited range of overpriced bags, Departures is an easy one-stop shop for all your luggage needs. Here they have a variety of different bags and suitcases for whatever you're looking for, whether that's a set of 3 matching suitcases in different sizes or just an overnight bag. They have the fantastic expandable cases and the ones that can be flattened right down for easy storage, as well as various options when it comes to wheels and how you carry and move your luggage. Most of the bags come in bright colours and patterns, but there are plenty available for businessmen and others who require something a little more sensible. They also sell straps and tags and the occasional umbrella.

I like shops that make it simple and this is what Departures does. It's simple, if you want a bag…read moreor suitcase to take on holiday, then you go here. They might do the odd random accessory but mainly they just sell bags. They do a wide range of bags including sets of suitcases, some that expand so that you can ram a lot more stuff into that carrier or just your small overnight bag. All the bags come in varying patterns and colours so you can style that airport visit to the max, who knows who might mistake you as Julia Roberts with that swish leather suitcase. Lots and lots of bag, all your baggy needs, there really is no reason to go elsewhere if this is what you need.

I used to be handbag obsessed, but I've calmed down a bit since I've realised I need money for more…read moreimportant things like food and rent. But naturally I still flock to any store like Harding's that showcases a bit of leather arm candy. Before I even had a chance to look around, I warmed to this store once I heard Jackie Wilson's "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher" wafting through the shop floor. My shopping experiences are inexplicably influenced by the kind of background music shop owners choose to play. Harding's offers a selection of handbags, luggage and travel accessories to customers with a range of tastes and budgets. Most of the handbags were on sale when I went in there, some priced as low as £15. Suitcase, coats, purses and travel kits were also on display, from brands like Antler and Revelation. The cheerful shop assistant greeted me when I walked in and allowed me a no-hassle browsing opportunity, to which I'm always grateful.

Luggage is one of those items that, upon discovering that I had accidentally become an adult, I…read morefound I didn't have a clue where to get it from. I went through my childhood considering luggage to be just one of those things that appears when you need it, and goes away when you don't, much like spatulas. I could never have conceived of a world where there was such a high and constant demand for luggage to necessitate dedicated shops. It seemed insane to me. However, after the shock of adulthood had passed and I realised I did actually need to purchase luggage, I was eternally grateful for this shop. Before discovering this place, I was faced with the terrifying prospect of maybe, just maybe, having to go to Argos and using their infernal system to purchase my suitcases. I object to Argos on two grounds; firstly, you usually can't see what you're buying before you buy it, and secondly, it just seems so uncouth to get your goods brought to you by number,. So, just before I headed off to Argos, I had a fateful chat with my dad. I mentioned my destination and the reason for it, and he called me an idiot and told me to go to Harding's, where you can actually see the suitcase before you buy it so you have a proper idea of the size. So God bless you, Harding's. I didn't know you existed until I needed you, and when I did, there you were.

There are some lovely bags and great prices in this shop and I'm going back tomorrow to buy one. I will try not to half destroy the shop this time.
