This new boutique takes its place alongside other prestigious fashion stores along Formby’s Chapel Lane. The shop boasts a range of ‘designer’ inspired handbags, and has a handbag connossieur, I’m a little apprehensive when I enter the store, because I hate designer knock-offs. However, I was very pleasantly surprised. Although the store is small, The Handbag Boutique prettily displays their bags on simplistic shelving(so as not to detract from their beauty). In fact, their stock is very Mulberry and Chanel-esque. I was so entranced with what was on offer I purchased a beautifully brown quilted bag to add to my collection. The woman who served me was very nice and we had a delightful chat about the weather. A great little boutique.
