Hey there

Noticed recently that we seem to be getting more and more peeps from the UK which is excellent! Feeling a bit lonely in cold Scotland though! So far I know of Siri Ann/ Estile and myself in wet Edinburgh so just wondered geographically in the UK where were you and what your main bag love is? I know some people have discovered people that have lived round the corner from them for years and only met through here - how nice.

So here is me:

Live in Edinburgh - Corstorphine
Loves are Fendi (spy only) and Chloe (especially the bracelet bags)

Maybe I have a bag twin round the corner too! hee hee

Hi there
well, I am half UK (workwise) - used to live in Southampton for 9 years (so at the other end) but since last May I am only workwise going there - (miss it)
so maybe I don't really count but I still feel soooo attached.....

By the way, I am a huge huge Scotland fan - if I had the choice I would move to Edinburgh tomorrow (seriously) - we went there two years ago for a conference and it is just sooo lovely.

My bag loves are:

well, I have said it a lot - Anya Hindmarch (anything except the picture bags)
Celine
Chanel
Also I have a thing for metallics and exotic skin bags (sorry..)

I am excited to see who else will reply...

aw Lara thats nice that you still feel attached. Good bag list to have. I have been pining for my first Chanel for a long time - want a classic flap to start with.

Yes I love Edin too (may be bias though) even though freezing I still do get that buzz everytime I walk into town - I reckon when that fuzzy feeling goes that I should think about living somewere else.

Yip excited too to see the replies.

hi there secret and all UKers.. i live in london (its my fourth year here now!) studying here and i'm on a design degree (so very much into handbags)
i dream to have a line of my own one day.. stumbled on this forum while researching and got hooked..

I love deals and sample sales and i'm not really a full price person (with high-end gear)..hehe
dunno, maybe coz i see how the industry works.. and also coz i'm a student so daddy's not very happy when i shop too much..

I love Chloe, Chanel, Fendi (spy) like a lot of Dolce & Gabbana... and currently my eyes are set on the MiuMiu Coiffer.. I have been drooling over that one for a while now..

And coincidently, i have been visiting edinburgh loads recently, as my boyfriend is there.. I LOVEEE IT THERE.. Soo beautiful, and kinda laidback but still very metropolitan.. London gets to me sometimes..

Well, as you can see from my avatar, I live in Hertfordshire (about 25 miles from Marble Arch [which is in central London]).

Amongst my many and varied bag loves are the older Chloe designs (especially the clutches and hobos from the Phoebe Philo era [A/W '03 - '04, in particular]) and designs from Tom Ford era YSL and Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Roberto Cavalli, Alexander McQueen, Matthew Williamson and Missoni.

I love beautiful, characterful bags and am far more interested in the talent of the designer and the individual design, than I am in the name of the design house; or whether the bag is an 'it' bag. :biggrin:

Hi !!! Im Steve Im from the UK and live in the North West...nearest place you would know is probably Liverpool. Im still in High School but I'll be leaving in 3 and a half months to go to college studing fashion.

I ended up on this forum after searching for a bag and it came up with the purse blog and underneath the bag it said "why not join the purse forum!" so I did. To cut a long story short...I love it here !.

I shop too much...if there is a great deal or something not to miss out on...Im there.
My main passion is Louis Vuitton and Im a regular in manchester looking at all the new bags and shopping haha. I also like Prada and Gucci. I adore messenger bags and travel bags...I have expensive taste LOL HAHA.

Nice to meet you all and Im glad we are getting some more members from the UK ! :flowers:

Oh, I love Scotland, particularly the West Coast, bagsnshoo. :yes:

My Mum was half Scottish and I have aways felt that Scotland and the Lake District (where my Dad was from) are my spiritual homes! :heart: :heart: :heart:
