Affordable leather bags

This cute little flap black bag 179 is by Fossil, a US brand making affordable leather bags. It is stocked by the Kilkenny Shop in Dublin.

At prices from €129 for a cross body bag and €219 for a leather satchel, they are the store's biggest sellers after Orla Kiely.

Kiely’s new bags, incidentally with her signature stem print embossed on leather, are more discreet and less obvious than her familiar colourful counterparts for her new season’s totes and clutches in colours such as willow, lemon, cocoa and laurel.
