Copying Victoria Beckham's style of carrying large designer bags that are stuffed full can tear muscles and inflame shoulder tendons.

Physiotherapist Sammy Margo told the Daily Express that they have seen a huge increase in shoulder and neck problems because of this and killer heels can add to the pressure on posture.

She said that she has seen handbags weighing 1 and a half stone, which can cause repetitive strain injury and pain in the shoulder and neck.
