Sharp shoppers snapped up all available leather and nubuck shoulder bags within an hour of the item appearing on the site.

There’s one style remaining – the hexagonal chain crocodile bag – but at £8,950, it’s not what we’d consider an impulse buy. Although the two-tone wonder won’t reappear, expect to find five more of Ms B’s bags online from February.

UPDATE: We received word from Net at 1:45 that the second bag, which we anticipated might stick around a bit longer, has also now sold out. What Christmas rush?

And Mary was launched in 2009 by Alison and McNeil.

Alison had been lured back up to the Highlands of Scotland, by the ruggedly Handsome McNeil and the promise of a dog called Elvis, after many years living a fanciful single life in London. Alison had always had two main loves in life; the first was enjoying great food and drinks with wonderful friends and family. The second was vintage fashion and trawling the many antique and vintage markets in London and Paris. Always in search of a hidden treasure that had many stories to tell or, alternatively, one of her famous bargain polyester printed dresses.

After taking on a new job selling gorgeous clothing to the many lovely boutiques and independent retailers in Scotland, Alison discovered that they were in need of some quirky but beautiful jewellery and accessories. They needed to be good quality yet still reasonably priced and most importantly to offer customers a unique and individual alternative to what was available on the High Street.

Soon the time that was once spent in bars in the big smoke became time spent designing and creating what has now become the And Mary range. The kitchen table was quickly transformed from a place to eat to a hive of jewellery making activity. Covered in charms and jewellery from years of purchases, at vintage fairs and flea markets, the first collection from And Mary began to take shape.

If you need the Perfect Present for Someone Special, a gift from And Mary will be as unique and lovely as the person you are giving to or if you feel the need to indulge in your guilty shopping pleasures or give yourself a well deserved treat, the collections from And Mary will offer you the fabulous fix you have been looking for.

Perhaps you are in need of a Fabulous Accessory for a special occasion or for the perfect finish to your favourite outfit, look no further than here, from their glamorous hairpieces to their quirky jewellery And Mary will satisfy your every need.  And Mary’s lovely leather purses are all lined in vibrant raw silk or satin.

Each season Mimi launches a new collection for both men and women, which includes everything from sleek weekend bags, sturdy satchels and gorgeous clutch bags, to a diverse selection of ladies leather purses. The range uses beautiful colors throughout, including scarlet reds, yellows, rich browns and bright metallics. All Mimi pieces are made from exquisite Italian leather and are manufactured in the United Kingdom to ensure the highest production quality and ethical standards.

Mimi sells in select boutiques in London, the UK and Europe, as well as internationally in the US, Japan and Australia.

In 2007 Berry was commissioned by Tate Britain to design a unique collection of leather bags, purses and cardholders to be sold exclusively at Tate shops. The Mimi For Tate collaboration was so successful that the range remains ongoing with new styles launched seasonally.

They have an exciting range of accessories including purses, belts, cuffs, card holder and passport holders, in a wide range of colours such as Hot Pink, Teal, Purple and Antique White. 

In house designed, Makki boasts an excellent relationship with the artisans who make their designs, and Makki does not negotiate on the suppliers’ price, uses the finest quality materials and consistently pays up-front.  When possible they visit places of work and ensure good quality working conditions are maintained.
