Magpie & Bear

Karen Keenan at Magpie & Bear supports independent British designers and her accessories boutique is a one-stop shop for all things stylish. Everything in her store tells a story, and Karen is happy to champion each of her designers and share her discoveries.

1.    The ‘must-have’ arm candy of the moment is a Makki eel skin bag, and Karen recommends the Electric Clutch purse (£48.50).

2.    “For women with attitude, it has got to be the Age of Reason Anarchy Dog silk scarf (£195) - I love this quirky scarf, and it features their signature pinky pug dog!”

3.    You cannot go wrong with jewellery, and the uber-chic Daisy Chakra Nuit Bracelet (£58 silver/ £86 gold) is an elegant choice. Karen said, “The Daisy collection is gorgeous, and these bracelets are the new, grown up friendship bands – perfect for a special friend.”

4.    Men can be hard to buy for, but Karen has picked out stylish cufflinks from their new men’s range. “We have a great range of prices and styles, but I like the Chris Hawkins Cast Silver Fox and Rabbit cuffs (£230)”.

5.    Wraps are always appreciated in the cold months, and Magpie & Bear will have a brand new collection (from £30).
