A two-in-one handbag promises to be a fashion accessory with a conscience.

Chica Chick, based in Seaford, has come up with a stylish bag that also features several secret pockets, which contain an “essentials pack” made up of condoms, sanitary towel, tampon, mini toothbrush, toothpaste and deodorant.

Using a unique, patent pending design, it can also be converted from a generously-sized day bag to a scrunchie grab-bag for the evening at the pull of a cord.

The bag was designed by managing director Keith Murphy’s wife Cathy using faux leather and is available in three colours – pink mix, blue mix and multi, priced £35, though there is currently a 20% discount for people buying online.
