Radley Harvest Small Coin Purse
by brady58 I got a Radley coin purse for Christmas a couple of years ago and although I think it is beautiful and such good quality it isn't something that I use very often because it just isn't the most practical purse I own. The purse is made from leather which is so beautiful and soft and really feels like good quality. I cannot say ... enough good things about the quality of it because it is excellent and so well stitched and put together. I have no doubts the purse will remain in good condition for years to come thanks to how well it is made and the quality of the leather used in its construction. The design is also so adorable. I love Radley and their little dog designs which are immediately recognisable. They are just really cute and unusual. My one has a little dog which is chasing butterflies and again these are stitched on to the purse and again the stitching is so well done that the dog isn't even slightly moving from its original place on the purse. My problem with the purse is that it is just too small for me to use on a daily basis. I know it is only a coin purse but I personally have so many cards that I couldn't think about using this as my main purse because it just isn't practical for me personally. It is a shame that it just isn't a little bit bigger because I would love to use it more because I do think it is a gorgeous purse. My purse is black but it does also come in other colours and although I do not know how much was paid for my purse as it was a gift I do know that similar purses this size from Radley sell for about £21. I don't think this is a bad price because of how well it is made and the leather being such good quality and for people who only need a little purse and don't have loads of cards this would be a fabulous little purse to own.

Saddler Tab Fastening Purse
by northernlovely I wanted a nice gift for my Mum for her birthday, but I wanted something very practical as my Mum much prefers nice practical presents which are well made and will last. I knew she needed a new purse as her old one was falling to bits so decided upon a leather purse. I've had great experiences buying leather items on eBay ... previously; direct from leather suppliers. It's saved me lots of money and the recipients have always been very happy. So I bought a black Saddler Tab Fastening Purse from eBay for a very reasonable £7.99 plus £2 postage and packing. I have also seen Saddler purses in mill type gift shops, on markets and on non ebay websites such as Amazon and leather sellers. The purse came boxed in a plastic box with the Saddler interlinking logo on the front, very nice, and ideal to wrap as a gift. I wanted to take a look at it first and check all was OK so I opened it. It has a lovely soft leather feel to it and smells lovely (like a new leather sofa!). It's not hard and shiny like some cheap leather purses can be. It has a tab clasp with a stud close on it which I prefer, for safety, and inside there are eight slots for cards, a clear window pass holder, and a change holder. The card slots are a good size as I tested them with my debit card. The clear window is good for either a photo, or a bus pass (which is what Mum now uses it for). The change holder is good, though as on the sides it has a concertina type opening you can't put anything tiny like earrings for safekeeping in there it would be lost. It does however keep the tiniest of coins (ie, 5ps and 1ps) safe so it's great for it's intended purpose. There is also space for paper money. My Mum was really pleased with this Saddler Tab Fastening Purse and it was a lovely and inexpensive gift which was worth the money easily as she's used it every day and it's still as good as new (and I gave it her mid September). It's a very high quality purse, at an absolute bargain price, though obviously eBay is a little cheaper and you may pay £10 - £15 in a gift type shop, it is still well worth it as it is to such high quality, and very practical too. I highly recommend the Saddler Tab Fastening Purse, as it's a plain purse made from lovely soft leather which would be well received by any age and makes a practical, long lasting gift. Certainly my sister would use it as would my gran, so it really is a versatile gift to give. Five stars out of five for the Saddler Tab Fastening Purse, it's another good leather buy for me and I'll be sure to check out the rest of the Saddler range. Read the complete review |

Ted Baker Purse
by jimmychoogirl A couple of years ago I had a complete overhaul of my bag and purse collection, which was mainly due to the fact I had way too many bags and most of them were either looking a bit worn or were ones that I no longer used. When doing this I decided to invest in a few more expensive pieces, not necessarily worth hundreds, but just a little ... more than the high street brands I was previously buying. One of these items was the Ted Baker purse, now these come in a few different sizes, though I opted for the 'Kassady' purse (which I am pretty sure is the one pictured above) in a bright, yet not neon pink colour. This purse was one of the larger sizes as I like that it had lots of compartments and the flap open style, yet was not the largest. The largest to me looked a little more like a clutch bag opposed to a purse due to the size of it. ===~~Price and Availability~~=== This purse is priced at £75, which may sound a little expensive considering the fact that although Ted Baker may be classed as a 'premium' brand it is also not the best on the market and there may be better manufactured purses on the market. Nonetheless now having owned this purse for close to two and a half years, which is the longest I have ever owned a purse as often I become bored and like to change them up, I thoroughly believe it is worth this price. This is of course for the larger sized purse and there are other sizes available for a little cheaper and the small size is available for £65; though personally I believe it is worth paying the extra £10 for the larger size as I believe it to be more beneficial to the extra space and card slots. These are available in different colours, though currently on the website I can only see two. Though I tend to find there is often more selection in store. The purses tend to be one colour on the outside and then a contrasting colour on the inside. As mentioned mine is a bright pink on the outside and a orange colour on the inside. I cannot see this one of the website at the moment (and mine is slightly different to the current Kassady due to the time of purchase) however they tend to bring out more colour choices and brighter colours during the summer. It comes presented in a lovely green 'postcard' style box, wrapped in tissue paper which also makes it a lovely gift and the fact that it comes presented in a box really gives it that luxury item look. Due to it being a Ted Baker product I do tend to find it is fairly widely available. It is of course available in Ted Baker stores (and their online store) and is also available from larger department stores such as that of House of Fraser, John Lewis and others. ASOS also stock certain Ted Baker items too and you can sometimes pick up Ted Baker items for a little discount on eBay. ===~~The purse~~=== The purse itself (the £75 priced one) is 19cm x 10 cm x 3cm. I personally really like the size of the purse, it is considerably bigger than purses I have used in the past, especially that of coin purses. This makes it extremely easy to find in my bag and I do not find myself digging around for it, nonetheless it is a little too big for some of my smaller bags. I don't really mind this as I tend to only carry small bags when going to concerts or on a night out and then I can simply zip some money in a side pocket and I don't really like the idea of carrying my purse with me with all my cards in it then just in case I misplace it. The main and inner of the purse are 100% leather, whilst the lining is 100% polyester. The fact that it is leather makes it feel much more of a luxury item to hold and makes it look a little more expensive and that of a luxury item. I have personally found the leather to be of very high quality and therefore has been very hard wearing and despite the fact I often just throw this purse in my bag and have dropped it numerous times as of yet it is not showing any signs of wear. Despite the outer being made of leather it does have a plastic/patent like finish to it. Although this sounds like it may be a little cheaper looking, I actually really like the look. It is a bit different to the crocodile/ worn like leather and gives the purse a really smooth look. Due to this it also incredibly easy to wipe down if it ever gets a bit dirty or grubby looking. The lining of this purse is also incredibly pretty. It has a silky like feeling to it and is a mixture of dark and light greys. Although this may sound like it will contras with the bright pink and orange colour of my purse it somehow works and adds a little bit of 'class' to the bright pink colour. The print on the lining is big, bold roses which adds a certain elegance to the purse and is what really reminds me of the pretty Ted Baker prints. I love the bright pop of pink colour this purse has to it and really does make it look really eye-catching. The fact that it is also not a neon pink makes it a little more subtle, though is definitely not a subtle purse. The purse has a flap over design, which I really like as it fastens with a simple singular popper which means it is very easy to access. I particularly like the fact that it does not have a zip all the way round as some of the larger purses do and personally find this way of accessing the purse much quicker. Despite it being a single popper I find it to be very strong and sturdy and have never had any problems with it undoing. When opened you are met with eight slots along the top of the purse for cards. I find the cards to slide in and out of these very easily, yet at the same time are very secure in there and again have never had any problems with any of them sliding out. However I would strongly recommend not putting a card in the first 'clear' card stock as I have made this mistake and it is near impossible to remove. Therefore this slot is bet for use of a photo or something similar. There is also a pocket like feature in the top of the purse underneath where you store the cards. This is lined with the lovely floral print and I find this pocket really useful for storing shopping lists or 'to do' lists as then I know they are always with me and know exactly where they are. In the bottom half of the purse there is two large slots for notes/ vouchers or more lists. Notes fit easily length ways in this compartment. The compartments open up fairly widely so that you can see what you have in these pockets, but not too much so you feel that your purse/ money in your purse is exposed. I also like the fact that you have two of these pockets as it means it you need to separate money or if you need to give somebody money it is easy to store the money in the two separate compartments to avoid confusion. You are then met with the bobble clasp for the coin compartment. The bobble clasp is perhaps my favourite thing about this purse, I think this may be due to the fact that many purses do not have this nowadays. The current Kassady has crystals in the bobble clasp, however mine has round orange enamel pieces with the letters T and B on them. There is currently another purse with this enamel clasp, however they are rectangular in shape and not the same bobble clasp. This clasp I again find to be very secure and it has never accidently opened. Though I do find sometimes I forget to close it and just secure the main part of the purse and I do find that when I do this any coins I do have still manage to fall out, so it is very important to ensure you close the clasp. There are again two compartments in this section, though I do find that most of the money gets muddled in these compartments anyway. I tend to find that you can store a fair few coins in this compartment, though fewer than other purses I have used in the past as it does become difficult to do up the clasp when too full. There is then another four card slots, which is great for me as I seem to have a card for everything, luckily most of them are only loyalty cards though! Again the cards are secure in here yet very easy to get in and out as needed. Finally there is a zip on the back, when I first got this purse the zip was very hard to undo and zip back up, yet over time it has become much easier to do. I tend to not use this section of the purse too often as I find there is enough storage in the rest of the purse for me, nonetheless I find it a nice design feature. ===~~Overall~~=== Overall I am bother very pleased and impressed with my purchase. I think the quality of the item is fantastic and as of yet, despite the fact I have owned it for near enough two and a half years, it is showing very little, if any signs of wear. It has also maintained its bright pink colour and has not become dull over time, the fact that the outer is a wipe down material helps this and does make it extremely easy to maintain. The only thing I do find that wears on this purse is the stitching running around the purse. The stitching is the same colour as the purse, meaning that it is not too noticeable however overtime I have found that the colour of the stitching has stained a little and become a little darker. This can be cleaned up, though requires a little more time and effort than that of cleaning the main of the purse. I really love this purse and think the £75 price tag of this purse is extremely well justified, since purchasing mine a few of my friends have even purchased them in different colours. The only thing about this purse is that Ted Baker are constantly updating it and bringing out different versions meaning that it doesn't stay 'new' for long, this doesn't bother me though for those who like to stay more up to date this could cause an issue. I am awarding this purse five stars as I believe it thoroughly deserves them and should it become very tatty, grubby or just in the need of up dating I would not hesitate about purchasing another one.
