    Fashion news 2012 -  Meryl Streep's designer handbagging in 'The Iron Lady': A Salvatore Ferragamo handbag which once belonged to Baroness Thatcher sold for £83,110 in 2000, so it is fitting that a similar style in black leather by the Italian luxury label should be cast in the Thatcher biopic, The Iron Lady .

    Meryl Streep, who plays the former British prime minister can be seen toting the practical but chic Ferragamo handbag in the film directed by Phyllida Lloyd, which hits cinema screens on Friday, January 6.

    Thatcher once described her handbag as the only safe place in Downing Street, and it became a symbol of her style of government. An Asprey style which she famously owned for over three decades fetched £25,000 at auction in June 2011, and was bought by an unnamed Cypriot who is understood to have been a student in Britain during Lady Thatcher's tenure as prime minister.

    Streep's feet were also decked in the Florentine brand's 'Carla' pump (priced around £295), an elegant court shoe of moderate heel height, topped off with a grosgrain ribbon and logo plate detailing along the toes.
