Twin Set: Tweed

I sometimes get asked if we do matching purses to go with our handbag designs and so, this year I’ve started making purses to go with our tweed bags. Here are a couple of examples. Both these fine lambswool tweed fabrics are from Johnstons of Elgin in the highlands of Scotland. I love the colour…

Where To Find A New Handbag

The great thing about selling (and designing of course) handbags, is that there are a whole host of different kinds of outlet who want to offer your designs to their customers and clients. Today, I’m featuring a rural stockist in Normandie, France. Normandy Inn, France Kevin and Steve run this amazing B&B or Chambre d’Hotes…

New Pockets Tote: Navy

I just thought I’d post a photo of last weeks best selling handbag, the navy pockets tote. It’s a particularly nice shade of navy, not too bright and not too dull and the slightly contrasting thread shows off the seaming and stitching detail on the bag. Only 3 navy left now!

London, Paris & Travel Companions

Last week I posted a photo of our new medium sized shoulder bags in bright colours. Perfect for hands free travelling. Great Minds, Great Colours What a surprise then, when I spotted this yesterday.

Holiday Bags

I love our new summer colours, Pink, Turquoise and Yellow, in the practical medium shoulder bag. This is the design that was reviewed recently in the mango colour and deep purple. It’s definitely my perfect ‘hands free’ summer holiday bag. Big enough for all the essentials plus a book or kindle and there’ll still be…
