Though this dubious weather we've been having may be hindering my spring wardrobe choices somewhat, it hasn't stopped me from starting my summer holiday shopping. Always be prepared and all that...
With a week in Ibiza planned for September and hopefully a little sunshine break in between now and then, I prefer to purchase well in advance before all the good pieces sell out (a mistake I made last year...) and this gorgeous beaded pouch bag from Aspiga is top of my shopping list for this year.
All of the brand's accessories and sandals are handmade in India and Kenya by skilled local artisans, providing much-needed job for the local communities, and a percentage of all Aspiga's profits go to supporting an orphanage in Nairobi.
With such beautiful pieces, it's not a hard decision to make a purchase that you know is going towards doing some greater good in the world. The new Beaded Pouch Bag (£90) is the perfect size for travels, summer soirées and those all-important festivals and with such a myriad of colours it's bound to go with every outfit. Plus, more importantly, it leaves one's hands free for a camera and a beverage! Win win.
