New Chloe Handbags

So when Tangerine PR MD Sandy Lindsay asked me if I wanted to go to a handbag swap sale, there was no hesitation in saying yes. The event, which had been organised by Thirsty Thursday (the women’s based networking group), supported The Birdhouse Fund – which aims to help disadvantaged women across Greater Manchester make a new start through training, skill development or community projects – positively worthy in my book and what a better way to bring women together. It also meant that I had somewhere to take all my previously loved handbags, which I had become bored with but hadn’t wanted to throw out just yet, and pass them onto a good home while raising a bit of money – the age of swapsies is still going strong!

So, on Wednesday, along with fellow Tangerinee Nikki, we headed off to Dukes to view handbags and spend money. On arrival we were immediately offered a glass of champagne and escorted to where tables and tables of handbags were lined up, ready for us to take our pick. 

Now we do think ourselves as handbag experts, due to our client TJ Hughes, having a huge supply of the latest styles, and we knew the latest trends to look out for were satchels, drawstring, mini bags (think doctors bags) and clutch handbags – which you can definitely never have too many of – especially if you are a Sex and The City fan.
