Advantages: Stylish, good range of features Disadvantages: No 'piggy-back' connection
I recently purchased a vanity bag from Oasis (fashion shop) and have found it really strong, stylish and useful, with excellent organiser capabilities.
The bag is part of the Oasis luggage collection designed by Antler. At £30 the bag seems about average price, but was definitely the most stylish and had the most features. It fits in with the ethos of Oasis as being individual and fashionable. It is black and curved at the front, and is soft-sided but with a reinforced front.
It is travel-bag sized, with two main sections. Each section includes organiser features, including:
* mobile phone pocket
* 3 bottle straps (for storing shampoo, etc)
* key holder
* A4 sized inside pocket
* pen holders
* other storage pockets
It also comes with a shoulder strap and a padlock.

Although I rewrote it a year or so ago for Dooyoo, to include selected items from handbag reviews posted over there, I never got round to revising the Ciao version. So here it is. All the articles mentioned appeared in reviews by women on one site or the other.

What have I in my handbag?
I mustn't tell you lies;
In truth the only bags I own
Are those beneath my eyes.
You don't need special insight,
No expertise in rockets,
To guess that, being just a man,
I keep stuff in my pockets.
But if I now said: "Nothing!
So there, and that?s your lot!"

In any case, the subject
Has made me realise how
Much women carry in their bags ...
