We’ve covered Louise Hemplemans gorgeous handbags before, and if you’ve read those articles then you’ll know that her handbags have appeared in Vogue magazine, and are sold at some very exclusive shops like Harvey Nichols and a few other top London stores.

The designer leather mock croc laptop case up for grabs here is in black (although other colours are available), and is from the Milan range of Hempleman Handbags.

This stunning laptop case, which could also be used as a rather executive looking bag for the office is extremely feminine and looks professional, chic, and very stylish.

One of the things that I like about this particular laptop case is that it is a long handled laptop case. This is great because often you don’t want two lots of handles, especially one that trails around on the floor. Not good if you take yours on the train.

Here’s the perfect solution with the handles on this bag, which easily fit on the shoulder.

There are three main compartments to this bag. From the back the first compartment has a pressed stud opening, space for files and a back zip pocket. The middle compartment has a full double zip opening that follows round to the base of the bag. To support a laptop or file it is padded and there are two leather side panels. The final front section is again a pressed stud opening. There are three small padded pockets that would fit a mobile phone, blackberry or i-pod maybe, as well as five sturdy pen holders.

On the exterior to the rear of the case is a large zipped pocket.

The Hemplman Designer Lap Top Case has been very kindly offered as a prize by Behold the Bag of Ilkley, and they are also offering readers the chance to obtain one of these fabulous designer laptop cases at the bargain price of £125 – thats a discount of £50 for visitors to www.bagshandbags.co.uk!

Murder most fashionable!

This month we have 6 prizes on offer!

These are 5 copies of this fantastic new book “handbags and homicide” which was very graciously provided by Little Black Dress Books (see the description below), and since it’s the last competition before Christmas we’ve also managed to persuade Behold the Bag from Ilkley, West Yorkshire to let us re-offer the £50 voucher that wasn’t won in last months competition.

So that 5 copies of Handbags and Homicide and a £50 handbag gift voucher as well – all ideal as Christmas stocking fillers or they could prove a lifeline for those of you who leave your Christmas shopping until the last minute – like me!

Anyway, onto a brief description of “Handbags and Homicide,” which is available from Amazon.co.uk if you can’t wait until we draw the winners on the 14th December:

Handbags and Homicide by Dorothy Howell

An utterly irresistible, addictive read, introducing romantic suspense to Little Black Dress

Haley Randolph thinks her passion for designer purses cannot be surpassed. That is, until she discovers that someone she works with is willing to kill for them… HANDBAGS AND HOMICIDE, set in L.A.’s Garment District and the first book in an exciting new series, combines mystery, thriller and romance with shopping. What more could a girl want!

You can read the first 13 pages here!

Dorothy Howell was inspired to write HANDBAGS AND HOMICIDE by her crazed obsession with designer purses. She lives in Southern California, where there is, thankfully, no rehab program for handbag addiction, and she is hard at work on her next Haley Randolph mystery.
