Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

If you are fed up with extortionately priced bags from a certain design house then you have nada to worry about. This isn't cheap - this is fantasy shopping after all - but at least it's leather and not every Tom, Dick and Chelsea will have one. It's by Aquascutum, whose accessories get better each season. Much more stylish than some syntho rucksack or shopper-type handbag, this model would not have looked out of place swinging off the arm of Jackie O. And you can stuff quite a bit in. It reminds me of the Alitalia bags in which they used to pack the in-flight meals (we then used them for carrying school books) but, of course, this one is very much more fabulous. AB

Aquascutum "Signature" handbag made from calf leather, pounds 350 also available in red, black and buttermilk from 100 Regent Street, London W1, tel: 0800 282922
