Well, it’s been some time in the making but we have finally organised our new website based on feedback from our customers.  You said you wanted an easy to view shop where you could see all our handmade handbags in easy to find categories. Well we hope that this is what we have done. Simply select by handbag type and browse our designs. We have also added in some accessories that we think will be fab with your handbag, we intend to keep adding to this section so make sure you pop back on a regular basis. Got to go now and actually sell some of these handbags!

Fashion has matured; at least that’s what the autumn/winter 2010/11 catwalks are saying. The girlie tea-dresses and gladiator sandals are gone and have been replaced with heavy fabrics such as velvet and suede, leather and wool. It also looks to be a season where accessories such as handbags and jewellery will share a larger portion of the limelight and it will be just as important to be on-trend with your outerwear as it will be with what lies beneath it.

As far as handbags go, a leather satchel is an absolute must. This season, work wear becomes eveningwear and the sexy school teacher is very much a key look to aspire to. Keep colours simple, black and brown work best, but look for straps and buckles to spruce this look up a little. Check out our messenger bags for some really solutions!

Other  handbag styles will have some sort or ruffling or studding, many will have corsages and lace interwoven into the fabric and suede and floral will be key materials to look out for – check out some of our vintage styles in our shoulder handbags.  Jewellery this winter is designed to make a big and bold statement. It is colourful and highly pattered. Jewels and beads are everywhere and the brighter the better. In keeping with a 1940s and 1950s feel that will be dominating the high street in the weeks and months to come, pearls, flowers and diamante are also features to look out for.
