Hi Geordiewoman

Icmeler is full of bag shops that sell leather bags if you see one that you like shop around before you buy it and make sure you barter for it. The market have lots of stalls that sell them as well, a decent one from there would be around £20

There is one bag shop next to Florida restaurant at the top of the canal whos bags are really different from rest of the shops. I dont know how much they were charging as I had already bought my quota of bags this holiday before I found it ,but I will be going back in September and make sure I go to him first his bags were beautiful

Spend, Spend, Spend :lol:

Have a lovely holiday

Hi Allison

Some of the better looking bags can be more expensive £50-£80 it depends on what you are looking for. If you are buying a bag just make sure that the zips and straps are working okay.

Hi Allison

I hope you have a lovely holiday and enjoy Icmeler as much as I do. I fell in love with the place 10 years ago and have been going ever since. I do try other places but Icmeler just has that something special.

just down from the Alvaro restaurant is a little bag shop run by Dennis. He has always been fair to my wife and I.
