Y is for Yellow Handbags

Yellow is a fairly new colour in my collection and I like having it there but I used to shy away from it as it’s not a colour I can personally wear. But for the people who suit it, I say go for it because it’s very bold and bright and happy colour. Yellow #BagsOnTour One of my…

S is for Suede, Skiving and Splitting

Hello on day 19 of my A-Z of handbags. Today is all about some of the materials I use, what they are and how they’re made. Suede Do you know what suede is? What’s the difference between suede and leather? Well they are both leather but suede is a term used to describe the finish…

R is for Roanne

Today’s post is about Roanne the tote bag, not Roanne the town.
