Trying and failing to avoid the sun

I woke up this morning with terrifying tan lines and an inability to lift my arms above 90 degrees.  After applying way too much suncream, I put on yet another nautical outfit and headed to Weymouth town centre shops. This street is one of my favourites.  It leads up to the promenade and holds a newsagents, a fab bakery, bookshop and several gift shops.  After picking up a few postcards and getting my Euromillions ticket (new addiction)...

The bag of my dreams - 14.5" Classic Red Zatchel.

For many years I have lusted over satchels, specifically leather and (inevitably) expensive.  I was close to buying a Cambridge satchel many times but felt that they were just a little too expensive (£120+) for what they actually are.  Surely there much be another retailer that makes the beautiful bags?
