I think it's called Anna and they don't have it in the cream! It's £170'ish - have seen it on there somewhere. I just caught a promo for the Wanda patent bag, did anyone hear whether it was 3 or 4 easy payments? I thought 4 but showing as 3 online. Am now wondering whether this will change tomorrow after I am very naughty and order one tonight :mysmilie_516:
Here it is: 144599

I can't find it. Can someone post a link to it please? :smile:
I bought this for a fiver a couple of weeks ago after a long search for a small cream bag dating back to the leather kipling tsv (which wasn't even cream when it arrived) and it does the job and I don't care if the handles drop off or if I bin it after a season: http://avonshop.co.uk/product/jewellery-and-fashions/bags-and-purses/patent-chain-cross-body-bag---white.html
Don't get me wrong, I love spending money on bags but if I'm spending over £100 I want something special that I'll love for years and this ain't it!

Lulu Guiness has Bipolar Disorder. I rather like her actually, although not keen on her bags.
This is taken from an article in the Telegraph a couple of years ago:
She has also learnt how to manage her depression, which was triggered by the birth of her first child, and led to a diagnosis of bipolarity. 'God, we were so lucky, even 15 years ago - the awareness, the lack of stigma, the medication.' She laughs. 'It's a very difficult illness to understand when it's happening to you, and not a pleasant thing, but the silver lining' - she lets out a big sigh - 'is that you spend a lot of time with other people who are depressed, you appreciate things a bit more and, through doing therapy and group sessions, you become a much wiser person. I think you learn to empathise. I'm not judgemental any more. I'm not as critical.'
Has she learnt the danger signs? 'Totally. I'm very self-aware. I know my behaviour patterns. The main danger is that, time and time again, I've stopped taking my medication. You think, "Hurray, nothing's wrong, I'm happy," so you stop, and then… I've done this to myself too many times, so now I just take the dosage down very, very low.'
When she talks about this her eyes are closed, and she doesn't open them until her next sentence. 'Most things make me happy,' she says. 'My natural character is optimistic. I'm a bipolar optimist.'
Not once in the two years since she's been on QVC have I ever, ever, ever, seen a stitch out of place or a wonky piece of embellishment when they do a close-up on the bags. The finishes on her bags are superb, so I'd be willing to shell out some extra cheddar for one of them:happy:
. I have one Lulu bag, the rainy day bag with the dress-up doll on it! I bought it about eight years ago in her shop in Pont Street. She was there at the time and was quite lovely. I only saw her and chatted for a couple of minutes, but I would say she was exactly the same as she is on QVC - she has no TV persona but is just herself.
