You MUST have had a cull! I'm sure you were the urban handbag queen.

I think I have that crown!

She is much better at culling handbags than me, I'm rubbish.

I'm not even going to estimate how many bags I have...

This is more of a monitor test isn't it? You know colour varies widely.

As for me, I see a light blue-grey.

I buy and sell them a lot - set myself a limit of 10, and if I go over it, I have to get rid of one to make room.
