Classic Purses - Granny knows best!

I discovered 'Granny Chic' when I started scouring charity shops. Where better to get silk scarf fit for the queen, leather purse or a beautiful vintage looking broach.

My friends and I joke about how granny's fashion is best and we all funnily enough have bought purses from charity shops over the last month. The best thing about this is how every purse is different, unique and has a story.

My purse is a classic tanned leather purse with a granny clasp and marks where the old 2p's used to sit. My friends purse is rather more granny like than mine and is made out of a tweed carpet effect and again, granny clasp - it a one off for sure.

I decided that granny knew best when I decided to treat myself to a very well known designer purse complete with clasp from a department store. I was very excited, got it home and moved all of my cards and cash over. I felt quite smug you could say, you know, the feeling you have when you have a new purse or bag?!

Then disaster struck - I got the purse out of my bag and the clasp and opened thus all my pennies falling out, not a great sign for the amount of cash I'd paid for it! That was when I decided that old purses are the best and I've stuck with it ever since.

I'm sure things were made better in the good old days!
