Luxury leather purses and accessores to complement the catwalk from David Hampton
This winter, make sure that your credit cards don’t show you up when you go to buy the latest hot fashions off the London, Paris and Milan catwalks.
With top designers showing that black is back, punctuated by mustard yellows and bright pinks, David Hampton’s latest range of luxury leather goods is the perfect accessory to the top fashions.
In particular:
Soft black leather has played a part in the ranges by Chloe, Christian Lacroix and Karl Lagerfeld. Complement your outfit with a butter-soft Accordion Wallet, with 12 card slots for all your credit and loyalty cards, as well as a cash compartment for the traffic meter outside your favourite store!
Match up your bright Michael Kors handbag with a Slim Clutch Wallet in Oak Grain Leather in straw yellow. Large enough to hold your cards and receipts, yet sufficiently slim to slide into your bag without bulges. Or protect your bag from snags and tears on keys with a hard-wearing leather keycase.
Zak Posen’s pink satin handbag is the perfect way of adding different textures and a flash of colour to your winter outfit. Pair it up with one of David Hampton’s compact purses, made from soft pink leather – or go for one of the other colourways to match your outfit – classic black, regal carmine or dark expresso.
“There is a lovely irony that so many people look for the perfect accessories to match an outfit, but fail to take account of the one item that they are likely to use everywhere they go – their purse!” says designer, Michael Gough-Allen. “Often people keep the same wallet or purse until it literally falls apart, but just as shoes maketh the man, a good quality purse carries style right through from display rack to the till!”
David Hampton also offers an extensive range of wallets for men, including a gussetted coat wallet that will not ruin the line of a tailored suit, or a soft billfold wallet in Cambridge hide – soft yet durable.
A full range of accessories for men and women, as well as travel and business accessories and gifts, is available exclusively through the website:

As the cold winter is now well upon us, its becoming common to see runners out on the footpaths, head to toe in warm clothing, getting in the miles before April's London Marathon. In fact, if you live in north Bucks, you may have seen my girlfriend and I out and about in training.
