iPad bags

I have just been to see the David Hockney exhibition in London and made myself an ipad bag in orange, for the occasion! The exhibition was an inspiration, firstly as there was such an impressive body (and scale) of paintings on display and secondly that his motivation is so accessible....to notice the changing seasons and the beautiful nature around us. Really wonderful and I came home to birdsong and Spring.

Fashion Students designs


An interesting commission!
These fabulous pieces were designed by fashion students from Hertfordshire University for their final show.
The bags were designed by Isabell Glueck and the harness belt by Hannah Wright.
They sent me complete design spec and chose colours...and I made up.

New Tote Bag

black patent tote bag
Very chic new tote bag made in faux snake leather ( leather with a snake pattern printed on top of it).  A bit of a diva to photograph because it can be all soft and silky one minute and a veritable hold all the next.

Lined in Sanderson's 50s fabric and available on the website in my 'Retro Range'

To Russia with Love

This bag order went all the way to Russia!  Its seriously cold there and Nick and Tatyana braved the snow to send me back a picture.  Its a wonderful thing that with the internet we can meet and have contact with lovely people around the world.
The bag is the 'oak' workbag made up in chestnut and Nick found me by trawling through Google images for handmade leather bags.....how clever is that.
