It’s not often this beauty journo gets to check out a fashion boutique in the name of work but that’s exactly what I did this morning when I stopped off at Jenny Packham’s boutique in exclusive Mayfair. But there was a beauty link (I promise), Lancôme have teamed up with the designer to create their new gift with purchase bag. And it’s a stunner! Jenny was on-hand to introduce us to her design, which was inspired by the decadent 1930’s and a vintage purse (shown in the mood-board). The iconic Lancôme flowers have been re-interpreted and designed by de Gournay who also created the wallpapers in all of Jenny’s boutiques. It’s definitely a keeper. But, beauty aside, I couldn’t help pawing some of the, now iconic, dresses that the Duchess of Cambridge has worn. Sigh.

Launching exclusively into Harvey Nichols from May andnationwide from 8th June, the bag is free with every two Lancômepurchases (one being skincare) and includes 5 travel size products.

The bag promises to be hugely popular so make sure you get in there quick!
