Handcrafted Bags and Totes
Wear this style when cycling or walking to be hands free. Can be worn on the front or back and from the left or right side. It has a front zipper pocket, a back zipper pocket, a front slip pocket and a slip pocket in the main compartment. There is room for all the essentials and even a small water bottle.
This version is made with a vinyl and water resistant tweed exterior and a cotton lining
Bigger than the phone pouch, this unisex messenger bag is big enough for a few more essentials, purse or wallet, glasses, tissues etc. There is a zippered coin pocket on the back and a slip pocket under the flap as well as the, surprisingly roomy main compartment.
Just big enough for a smart phone with card slots under the flap and a zippered coin pocket on the back. All you need to nip to the shops or take the dog out for a walk. Leather with cotton webbing adjustable cross body strap
Soft slouchy totes in fine Italian leather. Two side zipper pockets. Four section interior slip pocket and wipe clean, water resistant lining. Designer looks with great practicality.
I don’t often get asked to make anything for my daughter but she requested a new bag and this is what I made for her. She uses it all the time so I think it was a winner. It is lovely herringbone wool tweed with soft suede upcycled from a jumblesale jacket find. Another win.
Inspired by certain ‘designer’ bags, I’ve been experimenting with variations on a slouchy hobo style in gorgeous soft Italian leather. These are a work in progress but I think the potential is there
So many lovely colours, I had to make them all. Heavy woven wool style fabric with leather accents and cotton webbing handles, closed with a matching zipped top.
I was given a large bag of upholstery fabric and leather samples so, of course, I had to make some bags.
A friend asked for a small navy blue bag to go with spring outfits. As she is French I created something chic and sophisticated. This is quilted, soft Nappa lamb leather. Small and light but big enough for a few essentials, I think it met the brief.
I love this structured boxy bag which looks very high end but is also practical. The blue one is waterproof canvas and mock croc whilst the pink one is metallic faux leather and mock croc so both can be sponged clean.
It can be carried on the shoulder with a detachable strap or in the hand and there is a small zip pocket on the back as well as one inside to keep things organised.
