dorothybarrick.jpgTo remind us that colourful doesn't always have to mean garish and hard on the eye, check out Dorothy Barrick's lovely Fermoire bag. This one's in a clasp-top bag that's becoming ever so fashionable at the moment along with similarly-styled purses like these beauties by Bagatelles & Co.

From a distance, many of Barrick's styles remind me a bit of the upholstery used on the Tube - but while it is in fact vintage, the fabric making up the main body of the bag is actually genuine 1950s printed fabric.

The Fermoire is £68 (reduced from £225) at Accessories Lounge.
