bags for life

You can view the catalogue of bags here

On Saturday 2nd September 2006 we're holding a one-day exhibition of handbags in the church.

There are about a hundred bags, ranging from very vintage (1880s) to very modern (post 2000) and including the very, very, very famous. You have to come along to see what we mean.
