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.

Big shoulder bags are in, which is a welcome relief for all those who have been trying to stuff everything into tiny bags (although don't throw them away because tiny bags are still in too). This one by the Italian shoe designer Armando Pollini is made of extremely soft leather, the like of which tells you at a touch that this bag costs big bucks. It is roomy and thus very useful and it also has a separate compartment at the bottom which you can slip your newspaper into, and retrieve, without having to disturb the inner contents of your bag (as modelled beautifully, a la Hello!, by an old - but not forgotten - copy of Real Life).

Armando Pollini bag, in black only, pounds 289, from 35 Brook Street, London W1, tel: 0171 629 7606.
