For this weeks hot handbag I decided that I had to include these wonderful “Betty Barrel” designer handbags from Louise Hempleman, whose handbags have been creating quite a stir here at the Bags & Handbags magazine.

We’re always on the lookout for bags & handbags with that little bit extra, something individual, stylish, & unique, and we think that the Betty Barrel from the Hempleman Collection fits the bill perfectly.

Available in black, brown, & green these gorgeous rounded leather handbags have a mock croc patent finish and the most delightful gold coloured metal fittings – just take a look at those hinged handles – fantastic!

The mock croc leather, fittings, & shape of the bag give it a sleek and very sophisticated edge, you can immediately see that it is something out of the ordinary, and if you open the bag with the double zip so that you can fully open it out, the interior doesn’t disappoint either.

The interior lining is made from a very good quality rich, dark fabric, which of course carries the Hempleman logo, there is also a large zipped pocket for keeping your personal items & valuables securely hidden away and plenty of room for your other handbag essentials.

Each Betty Barrel comes with a soft cotton dust cover, again bearing the Hempleman logo which, my mother used to tell me, is a sign of a good handbag (although you should probably see our article on how to spot great quality handbags).

Overall I’d have to say that the Hempleman Collection Betty Barrel handbags are massively stylish, and with their sleek, sophisticated style will certainly turn heads.

Betty Barrel Designer Handbags are available from Behold the Bag for £145 including delivery.
