Dior Daintiness

diorpretty.jpgYou know that sketch from <i>Little Britain</i> with the Victorian-cross-dresser who insists he’s a <i>laaaady</i>? Well, he’d love this purse.

It’s a beautiful little vintage-design handbag made of white leather, with delicate, detailed stitching and silver hardware. It’s almost oriental, yet stays just this side of the line that divides it from a very innocent, wholesome English look.

I’m not terribly enamoured with the hanging ‘C’ and ‘D’, but otherwise it’s a lovely daytime purse… if it were summer you could take it to classical concerts at the park, or perhaps to Wimbledon, though at this time of year though it’s mostly a sweet reminder that, contrary to what one might be feeling, winter does <i>not</i> last forever.

Most diverting!
