HOT NEW SPECIAL OFFER COMING NEXT WEEK!!

HERE WE GO....

Christmas is coming and the Trafford's getting fat (well, we all need a little extra to keep us warm this winter if it's going to be as cold as predicted....) so Handbag Hire HQ have come up with an ingenious Christmas present for all your fashionista friends and rellies.

From Tuesday 2nd December, we are offering twice the membership period you pay for when you buy a Gift Certificate from us! So, if you buy someone special a six-month membership Gift Certificate, we will automatically give 12 months - how fabulous is THAT?!

Have a look at our Gift Certificates on the site, but also, please remember we can tailor-make the perfect gift package to suit your requirements, be it a novel Secret Santa present at work or a way to show your thanks and appreciation. We can add a personal note and can deliver the Gift Certificate either directly to the recipient or to yourself for approval/for putting by the tree.

*sigh*

Bye for now and er.... Merry Christmas, though at this stage I feel more like I should be saying "Merry Christmas Shopping!"
Love,

Newly converted....

OK, OK, I'm convinced.... after a few days touting the lovely Hoxton I'm admitting I'm crazy about it! I'm thinking about renaming it "The Joe Swash of Handbags" - just like the IAC-GMOOH star himself, I originally thought: seems nice, not really my cup of tea, bit young for me maybe ("maybe??" - who am I kidding?!) but then as time has gone on, both Joe and the Hoxton have really grown on me. Now, I've previously tried a bag out that could be a Nicola McClean, interesting at first, able to cope surprisingly impressively with some tasks, but ultimately a bit, um.... irritating.... so the Burberry Hoxton has proved an absolute delight.

It is sooo roomy, which yes, I appreciate IS obvious given its dimensions, but there is a tendency with these flat bags to actually not be able to fit an awful lot in unless it's paper-thin. The Quilted One is made so beautifully that it can be filled width-ways without it destroying the lovely shape of the bag.

My main concern was that the solid-form strap would be painful on the shoulder if there was any weight in there: totally unfounded, although I have to say I found the bag naturally suited being held in the hand far better than sitting under my arm.

Verdict: very nice, VERY smart and very practical. Take a look at this and the rest of the new arrivals to the Handbag Hire HQ site, you'll love them.

Very very much love,
Jo. XX.

Where does the time go.....?

Now, when I was a child, Christmas used to take AGES to come. Somehow, over the years, my concept of time seems to have changed completely and Christmas is upon me faster than VB on a new shade of Hermes.

So, we are already thinking of Christmas offers and delights for all our Handbag Hire HQ lovely members. Watch this space!!

As for me and my Bag Trials, the Burberry Hoxton has just come back in and I think I might have to test it out for a couple of days.... all in the name of Research and Customer Satisfaction of course. I will be loading the gorgeous quilted one as soon as I sign off from here, so I'll be back soon with my verdict....

Bye for now,

Jo. XX.
