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.

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).

As Laura said there's not really much of a selection in the way of bags, interestingly when I was…read morelast there, it actually appeared that they had a greater selection of shoes available than bags, so maybe it's time to change the stores name perhaps? I can't say I really liked any of the bags or shoes, though I did notice that the shoes all seemed to be a rather wide fitting (oh the curse of wide feet). The items available really reminded me of the sort of bags and shoes you get in supermarkets, and to be fair they were only a smidgen more expensive than supermarket prices. Personally I don't think I'll be going back, however I might recommend it to my Nan (she loves a good bargain).

The Bag Boutique in many respects reminds me of Exotic Glitter on the Wellfield Road. Neither shop…read morecarries quality stock, and they both appear outmoded, making them insufficiently appealing to the demographic that would be interested in the products they carry, if they could come up with an identity that would appeal to them. But they haven't. Both are missing the target, even though there is some merit to what they are doing. The Bag Boutique specialises in bags and footwear for the budget conscious mature person. But with a bigger low cost shoe store a couple of minutes walk away there's stiff competition for the pension pound in the area. Sadly Exotic Glitter has a lease / for sale notice in their window at the moment, and unless The Bag Boutique has a devout loyal customer base, (which I doubt), then I can see it heading in the same direction. I hope that this isn't the case. Albany Road cannot afford to lose another independent business, probably allowing yet another estate agent to takes its place! Please no!

Quite a good bag shop with a lot of choice and to suit all budgets. There are leather and synthetic…read morehandbags and shopping bags in many colours and styles, briefcases and laptop bags, luggage of many kinds and all sizes, and some backpacks. There is also a good range of purses and umbrellas. The staff seemed very pleasant and helpful when I was in there yesterday.

One of the more worthy shops at the Festival park Antler sells...Well, you know suitcases, luggage,…read morehandbags i think they even do gloves. A nice large store, pretty much as soon as you enter the retail park. Now, this is meant to be an outlet, which usually means prices are somewhat far more reasonable than in the sister ships (the proper shop) However, this seems to go against the grain up here. I'm aware luggage is not the most reasonable of necessities one has to have, i do however think Antler luggage, although brilliant quality is super over priced, like incredibly over priced. Especially for something most of us only use once a year (unless your mother who's a bit of a renowned jet-setter!) Now dont get me wrong, these suitcases are damn pretty and i'd love to be showing one of in Cardiff Airport right this minute (on my way to somewhere exotic mind, not just lugging a suitcase for the hell of it!) but the tight part of me just cannot give in to the price tag. Now, again i have to state; the quality of these suitcases are second to none and you know your grits wont be splashed across the conveyor belt due to cheap design, but believe me you'll be saving for the case this year and the holiday next! Ooh before i forget to say hi to Natalie, the assistant she's very tanned and very sweet!

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!!

Bagz sells a wide range of stylish handbags most of them being leather. There is a big variety to…read moresuit everyone's tastes. They also sell a big selection of suitcases some of these are very unique and there all different sizes to suit all occasions. Some of the suitcases are displayed outside the shop the rest are at the back of the shop. I find that the prices are very good especially on the suitcases. They have recently they have also been selling tutus and other bright neon accessories. I have found it to be one of the cheapest places selling the tutus. I find it really easy to find what you're looking for in there as the shop is well laid out. I have to admit not all the bags are to my taste but I have seen a few I like in there.
