Not to be confused with popular kitchenware store, Lakeland Leather sells a mixture of leather…read moregoods and clothes. On the leather front they stock their own range of handbags as well as Radley bags at discounted prices e.g. from £135 to £99.95. They also stocked leather purses as well as a large range of leather jackets and briefcases. There were some reasonable mens shirts and suits and a selection of blouses, which were not really to my taste. They also stocked a small selection of jewellery, none of which I found that inspiring.

We have also taken another jacket into be repaired and it's like new, our little welsh terrier puppy thought he would chew it. They also put a lovely button onto a fur coat for myself. It is a lovely store with good old fashioned values.

I love little shops which offer something a bit different. I have been coming here since the Street…read moreoutlet village opened in the 90's. I bought gloves and mitts here and they have been good. They stock Timberland stuff here too, but there's a Timberland outlet shop in the village so you might as well go there. Generally nice stuff, but the outlet village is close so take your pick.

The most expensive item of clothing I have ever bought was a long black leather jacket, much to my…read moremother's horror. I'd just started getting into moody teenage music and wanted the look to boot so I managed to save up £200 to buy a full length leather coat. Said coat is now lying in tatters at the bottom of my wardrobe after I decided to climb a tree wearing it. Doh! Anyway, I couldn't find it anywhere in my native Bournemouth so headed to a leather shop in Carnaby Street in London and bob's your uncle I got it. And that is what Premier Leathers reminds me of. Not only does it have an impeccable selection of leather jackets, long short, black, red, zipped, buttoned (you get the idea) but it also has cool t-shirts and accessories, including luggage cases, belts and wallets. A definite must for all things leather related!

My Husband bought me a leather coat from Premier Leathers a while ago, It had become scruffy due to…read morelots of wear. I took it back to Premier Leathers and asked if they would be able to restore the colour, replace missing poppers etc The very friendly Manager sent it to be done, and it has come back absolutely as new. A job very well done. Thankyou very much Mrs Tibbs

I had to go in here just because it looks like such a homely and inviting shop. I had no idea from…read moreoutside what it actually sold but when has that ever stopped me! They actually sell mostly handbags, purses and accessories. The way everything is presented makes you feel like your buying a one off item in a boutique and well there's lots of pretty things to look at. I especially like the jewellery. Price wise it's not too ridiculous. Most of the bags seem to cost around £50, so not quite designer prices but you do get quality and something a bit different.

I first came across the Ollie & Nic brand, ironically, in TK Maxx, where they were offering a…read moremassive discount on a limited range of their products - and I bought one of their cosmetic bags before I went on holiday. This whole shop is dedicated to Ollie & Nic products and while it may not be so cheap as TK Maxx, it does offer a much more comprehensive range of their purses, wallets, wash bags, hand bags and other accessories. They do lots of leather goods such as coloured leather messenger-style handbags, old-skool satchels, big oversized shoulder bags, and vintage totes. Their purses are available in a similar range of leathers, and they also do some patterned material products such as their cosmetic bags. All their stuff is of a very high quality and lasts for ages, so while the price tag is quite high you're getting what you pay for.

Always lovely service, with decent prices and a wide selection of different types of bags and…read morepurses to choose from.

'A handbag?' Oscar…read moreWilde knew the dramatic potential of handbags, bless him. I can't leave the house without one, I'm snail-like dragging my life around with me - I'd love to be like my friend Clare who just takes a credit card and her phone, maybe her house keys and chucks them all in my big over the shoulder satchel but I'm not. I like to know I have pens and a notebook and a novel or poetry collection and my make up and my phone and wallet and keys and charger and more hair bands than anyone could ever possibly need, just-in-case. Naturally bag theft leaves me wailing, a long mourning period ensues. I voodoo doll the thief a bad end. Anyway I digress. Hennessy's sell handbags. And wallets and purses and shoppers and wheelie granny trolleys and rucksacks. I don't like any of them, I'll be honest, but you might.
