I love teeny handbags but since having kids haven’t been able to get away with carrying anything smaller than a backpacker’s delight. (Need room for toys and hats and packets of emergency biscuits!) This little lace bag, a bit of wishful thinking on my part, is for times when all you need are keys, a credit card and a wee mobile phone…but you could probably fit a little box of sultanas, in case you or someone you know gets a little peckish.
