It seems the appeal of a good bag is spreading.
Accessory sales outperformed all other clothing retail sectors during 2005, research has suggested.
Shoppers' lust for belts, scarves and handbags is one factor behind a 10% growth in sales, analysts believe.
Women are driving the £2.5bn market, making impulse buys of cheap items to get a shopping fix, market analysts Verdict said in a report.
I'm not surprised at this. I always find that if you have a new accessory, it can spice up an old outfit.
..............although, I must admit, I buy more shoes than anything else :banana:
