WHEN fashion writers - this one no exception - so frequently exhort readers to update an ensemble with just some fresh accessories, they ought at least to offer help in tracking down the latter. So we're happy to help by bringing Holden Leathergoods to your attention. Established by Jackie and Conor Holden in 1989, the company is based in a converted schoolhouse three miles outside Dingle town and produces a wide range of bags, belts and luggage.
The range shown here is part of Holden's classic collection, available in a choice of colours (including black, brown, navy and green) with all items lined in a distinctive bottle green suede and heavyweight silk used for inside pockets. Prices run from £45 for a convenient belt bag to £115 for the largest piece in this particular collection. Other especially attractive pieces include a generously sized wash bag (£66), an executive briefcase with detachable shoulder strap (£280) and a personal telephone/address book (£36).
