That’s right. So much for my fashion awareness – I had no idea who he even was at the party, or that he was at the helm of the famous House of Mercier, for my shame – but then his pieces are for a more mature woman and far too expensive for the older Carrington’s customers. I certainly know all about him now, though! That’s right, I Googled him the very second I stepped outside that penthouse suite. Of course I did. And then felt marginally more on-trend when I discovered that he’s very reclusive, likes to stay away from the media spotlight, and his surname is actually Pumphrey, far less exotic. His mother was French. And he was at the party as Kelly’s plus one – they go back years, apparently.Anyway, he’s looking to branch out into women’s accessories aimed at a younger market and, rather than consult with his usual panel of experts, he wants me, Georgie Hart, from Mulberry-On-Sea, to help him design a range of handbags to appeal to, and I quote his exact words, ‘the ordinary girl-about-town’, but – and he was very fastidious in pointing this out as well – to ‘a girl who dreams of something more …’ That’s me, apparently.
