Furla: aka heaven for many women.
Furla retail outlet store: better than sex and chocolate for many, many people!
If you like designer bags, particularly designer leather handbags, this is the place for you. Actually, I'm not a huge fan, but I know I'm in the minority. They're actually quite practical, with a range of sizes, but obviously it's the style that attracts most people. The bags come in some interesting colours (so the rich among you can colour-coordinate with your outfits!) and range from shiny snakeskin/crocodileskin style leather (better than it sounds) to matte. Some are more glam, some are a bit more practical. Some have fur, some have shiny bits, some have dangly bits. I know this isn't particularly descriptive, but for some reason, when I went in here, I just couldn't muster my normal enthusiasm for bags. I think maybe it's because they're all so neatly arranged on the shelves - I prefer bag shops with hundreds of things hanging around the room. These are very good quality, but to my untrained eye, they look pretty similar to lots of bags in much cheaper highstreet stores at the moment. read more
