If you love the idea of owning a bag which is totally unique and also ecofriendly, do take a look at all that I have in my shop. Each item is lovingly created using as much reclaimed fabric as possible while ensuring a high quality of workmanship.
Enjoy browsing and hopefully finding just what you'd like to purchase, in the knowledge that your bag (or other item) will be made in as sustainable a way as possible. And if you can't find just what you were hoping for, do get in touch: I love making bespoke bags!

Owner, Designer, Creator
I have always enjoyed sewing and I've developed a passion for making bags and other bag-related items. I love the creative process, especially if I am able to make use of upcycled materials, and individualise each bag.

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalised orders
Some of my items have different options available and the cost is as quoted. However, if you wish to mix and match features from different listings the price will vary and I will inform you as to the cost before your order is finalised. Please note that significant changes to a bag design, the fabric used and the detail of any applique will incur considerably greater costs, mainly due to the extra time required in making the bag to your exact specifications.
I am happy to work with you to come to an agreement about exactly what you require before you commit to placing the order and I start making your bespoke bag. My aim is to provide you with a friendly and helpful service!
Gift wrapping and packaging
If you would like to have your bag gift-wrapped either for yourself or for your purchase to be sent directly as a gift for someone else, this is an option that is available to you. A hand-written message of your choosing on a gift tag would be included - just let me know the details! This can be particularly useful for overseas customers wishing to purchase a gift for a friend or relation here in UK.
Generally, I keep my packaging to the minimum required for the safe transportation of your purchase. Moreover, most of it is recyclable or re-usable in order to be as eco-friendly as possible.
Use of up-cycled fabrics
I use as much up-cycled fabric as possible when making the bags although I aim to not make the previous use of the fabric apparent in the appearance of the bags. The bag descriptions indicate which sections have been made from previously used materials. I am careful to avoid any blemishes or worn patches. If there is any fading or mark on a bag due to the previous use of the fabric, I will make this clear in the description. Please note that it is due to the use of repurposed fabrics that I can offer my bags at these prices.
