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.When the sun is out, the time seems right for a flippant fashion buy, but frivolous shopping should always be on a low budget. There is no point parting with a fortune for accessories for that two-week holiday or our temperamental British summers.
River Island have a straw shopper for pounds 10.99 that has ample room for a beach towel, mineral water, sun block, and a novel. This can be neatly slotted under the arm, or hand-held for bag-swinging style. Bright pink, it is more interesting than the usual old raffia number and a great excuse to be a bit more daring. It is attractively trimmed with flowers, a perfect match for all those high-summer floral dresses. A bag this good should not be banished to the beach. Be bold and bright - carry it anywhere
Available from selected branches of River Island. Stockist enquires 0181-998 8822
