Anxious? Irritated? Short-tempered?

Could be your handbag.

Mulberry’s Phoebe, Chloé’s Paddington, Hermès’s everything: most of the bags worth bagging are either completely unavailable or so extortionate you have to sacrifice your house/car/kidneys to buy one.

And if they’re neither of these, they’re probably fake.

Bulga is a groovy new line of handbags which are attainable (for now). Launched by Russian ex-beauty queen Natalia Konovalova, they’re some of the coolest creations to hit London in, well, days. The tasselled, studded and embossed leather and suede designs come in lush colours, so there’s a style to fit every mood and look.

And you won’t see lame imitations floating around town: no one on Oxford Street has ripped them off.

Yet.
