An (affordable) handbag brand inspired by a famous film character. How did I not know of this until now!

Did anyone else watch Ripley earlier this year, the Netflix series / adaption of ‘The Talented Mr Ripley’, with Andrew Scott in the title role.

The latter is a film I’ve never actually seen (1999 - Gwyneth Paltrow, Matt Damon, Jude Law) based on the 1955 thriller novel. I loved the Netflix series so much that I will now be watching the film (although I am always a fan of Andrew Scott, the hot priest from Fleabag incase you’ve been living under a rock).

Right, less men, more Marge (not Simpson). Marge Sherwood is the female lead in Ripley, played by Dakota Fanning in the recent Netflix adaption (I am enjoying Dakota in recent drama series’, see also The Perfect Couple, mixed reviews, probably mostly due to Nicole Kidman’s awful wig, but worth a watch IMO).

Okay, less hard facts (lol, if this counts), more handbags! The point of all this is…

Marge Sherwood is a handbag brand. WHO KNEW!

I did not! Turns out I LOVE the bags (naturally).

My picks and links continue below, I’ve found some in sale for you too (at some sites you might not have looked at). I’ve scrolled so you don’t have to 😊 saving you time and… sanity! I hope you enjoy this mini magazine from my buyer’s brain, all my best intel is in here! Wouldn’t you have paid £1.50 a week for a magazine back in the day? B x
