Pictured: Lulu Guinness’ special zip purse offer when you buy a handbag from now until May, 4.As some who know me can attest, I am a handbag aficionado. In my pre-Recessionista reform days, I had a rather large collection of fine bags which I have since sold off via eBay to economize. None the less, I still appreciate a good, high-end bag when I see one. One of my favorites is Lulu Guinness. I love the cuteness of the bags, and her little sayings. I appreciate the humor of the slogans she uses. Remember her purse and book entitled, “Put on Your Pearls Girls“? It’s so true, a little strand of pearls can dress up just about anything.
A current example of her handbag humor, is “The World is Your Oyster” bag.
Truly, these are Recessionista words to live by.
If you are a Lulu lover like myself, LG has a special offer running right now. The offer is pictured above. From May 1 to May 4th, Recessionistas who order a purchase over 140 GBP (approx. $209 US) will receive a FREE zip purse (perfect for cosmetics, lipsticks, etc.) valued at 50 GBP (approx.75.00 US). Nothing better than a little 2 for the price of 1, eh? 
So if you’re shopping for something for yourself, or looking to splurge on something special for Mom, you might want to check this one out. Lulu Guinness ships to the UK, Europe and outside of Europe. Check the website for details.
