If you asked me to name one bag label that's towering above the reat just now I'd answer 'Belen Echandia' without a moment's hesitation.
Jackie Cawthra's designs are just so focused on what today's women want that her bags will be your best friend for life, from the moment you settle on a style. This is no easy task of course, because all bags in the range has so much going for them, but my top pick for AW 09 has to be the 'Make me Smile' midi handbag in chocolate crash gold (£475). But if you don't see anything to suit your needs here, you can always used Cawthra's bespoke service to create your dream bag! This is true investment arm-candy.
