While I did enjoy the article “Rise of the Superfakes” [June 10], it’s a shame nothing was mentioned about the conditions these bags are made in and how little the workers are receiving, compared to the on-seller. Surely, that should be a concern before purchase?

“Rise of the Superfakes” was mind-boggling. However, there is something pleasing about carrying a smart handbag, but not necessarily a designer one. I married in the 1950s aged 21, and over the years my husband enjoyed buying me quality leather handbags. My collection became vast and now, 67 years on, I have given nearly all away, as I prefer a large tote when shopping. I no longer go to events where a smaller smart bag is needed, but I have beautiful memories around bags I have kept, especially the soft brown leather bag my 16-year-old daughter bought me in Florence on a school tour years back. It is just too lovely to part with. A good bag does indeed make you feel more special and as actress Jane Birkin has said, if it’s a copy of a designer bag, it doesn’t matter!

Drag queens… I love ’em. As a child in pre-war London I watched pantomimes with the “two ugly sisters” (both men in drag). I saw “old Mother Riley” (in drag) and her daughter Kitty (really his wife). I loved Some Like It Hot, and who could forget Danny La Rue and his wit, style and charm! Wake up folks, men have entertained us in drag for centuries!!

In a recent submission to Modern Guru [May 20], D.L. of Brighton East made reference to “post pandemic”, suggesting that we are somehow in that era. My better half runs the very full and very busy COVID-19 ward at our local hospital. She works 12-hour-days, hits 22,000 steps most shifts and brings admin work home on evenings and weekends. Deaths are still sadly frequent, as recently as today. There’s no “post pandemic” here – how does one respond so such causal suggestions that there is?
