Nestled amongst all the cafes and bakeries on Piccadilly approach is the Leather Shop. It's an odd…read morelocation for a shop like this as it's not really in any kind of main shopping area, but maybe people who have just got off a train really like leather? Maybe. If it's leather you're looking for, then this shop has lots of it. There are loads of different jackets (made of leather, blates) all for about £90 each. They've also got a good range of smart-looking shoes (again, all made of leather, you see where this is going). Randomly in The Leather Shop there is also a women's section. Unfortunately, it's just full of drab and unexciting clothes. I think they should stick to the leather.

There's nothing quite like a shop full of leather to make you feel wary about the cows. I'm sorry…read moreto put you off, but that's how I felt. Wrapped in leather houses lots and lots of premium leather goods, for ladies and gents. Luggage, briefcases, shoulder bags, diaries, make up bags, all classically designed and truly got that leather smell. Wrapped in Leather is also the largest UK stockist of the classic Italian the Bridge. If you've got the elegance, sophistication and know your real leather from the fake stuff, you need to note Wrapped in leather for your high quality purchases.

They have a stunning range of handbags, including really good labels like Lulu Guinness and Paul Smith. And I am always always tempted by the big Alessi range that they have - my kitchen has never looked so stylish! They also stock some quite lovely lotions and potions but they're all rather pricey. Great for gifts and unusual trinkets!

Like a child to a sweet shop, my eyes fixated on this shop as I walked past. The wonderfully…read morecolourful window display trapped me. There were two horses from a fair ground carousel and jars of sweets. And then I noticed the horse was a vehicle to display the actual product being sold in this shop - handbags! Handbags galore! Bigs ones, small ones, extremely colourful ones and very expensive ones! The whole shop was dressed up to create an image of fun. It said to me - if you have one of these handbags you are fun, classy and crazy! I really like this about the shop and went in to have a look even though the handbags are way out of my budget. I didn't feel intimidated as one might going into a shop where you clearly can't afford to buy anything. This may have been because of the female shop assistants who didn't look very intimidating. I'm sure they smirked to each other as I walked out. HOw rude. Luckily I don't need a handbag to express my personality for me. And I guess if you don't have the cash to splash don't even think about it!

Mulberry prides itself on high quality, high fashion clothing and accessories for both men and…read morewomen. The Mulberry bag is always sought after from fashionistas and always a staple wardobe accessory in Vogues capsule wardrobe collections! It's easy to be taken in by all the beautiful, yet quirky designs in store. But, as always in fashion, beauty comes with a nice, fat price. Shoulder bags will cost you around £650 which is way out of my budget it hurts. The quality is impeccable but I just can't justify spending so much on a bag that I will probably get fed up of after six months. Maybe if i'd been born into a ridiculously filthy fortune I wouldn't think twice...oh well! Anyway, the shops nice, nothing spectacular but nice with a few key bits and pieces. There are a few affordable pieces...you just have to look really, really hard to find them.

The look is mainly formal, classic and polished. This brand prides itself on producing high quality footwear built to last. Their staff are highly knowledgeable about fit, and shoe-trees can be bought in the shop to prolong the life of the shoes. They provide a re-soling service and their website features ten tips on lengthening the life of your shoes and declares that 'a good pair of shoes are a life-long companion'. This is a very welcome change from the majority of high street shoe retailers selling shoes that won't last the year and expecting you to return faithfully to stock up on landfill. Prices are on the expensive end with shoes at around £250 but may well last you longer than five pairs bought at £50!
