British prices continue to be competitive for buyers from overseas due to the current weakness of the pound.

Upmarket Asprey's, the luxury shop based in New Bond Street, offers high end leather goods. It has reported that its Indigo Crocodile bag has been selling well. And the Indigo Crocodile bag doesn't come cheap, costing a cool £14,500! This bag has apparently been popular with Russian tourists who have been happily snapping up this luxury item.
