Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.For £60,000 you could buy a brand new BMW, head off on an extravagant round-the-world trip, or even make a sizeable deposit on new house. Alternatively you could buy an 18 carat solid gold crisp packet clutch.
Selfridges is getting into the Christmas spirit with a range of exclusive gold bags.
The collection includes the staggeringly expensive £60,000 bag by Anya Hindmarch which comes in 18 carat, solid gold complete with gold-plated chain.
The bag which is described 'as wearable art' is made to order and is modelled on Hindmarch's signature autumn/winter 2014 crisp packet design, the standard version of which comes in at £995.
For the ultimate gift, the bag which can take up to 4 months to make can be personalised with the recipients name or a message.
And if yellow gold isn't your thing you also have the choice of a rose or white gold edition.
For a (slightly) more budget friendly options, the gold collection also includes exclusive designs from Simone Rocha, Sophie Hulme and Mawi.
All products are available to buy in all stores and online at Selfridges.com
