Hanging my head in shame
I came back from a holiday abroad proudly displaying my goodies - which included a very expensive designer leather bag which is to take pride of place in the wardrobe.
But you can't please everyone. On its first public showing, my mother dismissed it with the following words...
"I can't believe that someone who comes from Walsall would buy a leather bag from anywhere else. Don't you know that Walsall is the home of the leather trade? If you wanted a bag you should have gone to the Leather Museum in Walsall and bought one from there."
That is the last time that bag is seeing the light of day.

Don't bow down to maternal pressure - carry that bag with pride!
I don't mean to offend the natives of Walsall, but a soft leather designer bag purchased from a distant land promises so much more.
A bag, after all, isn't merely a receptacle for lugging around the necessary purse, mobile, lipstick etc. It's a life changing accessory that makes a statement about the owner.
Although try explaining that to my husband.
