Hand smoothing out fabric

Genuine vintage materials

All of the bags I make are from genuine vintage fabrics. I source these from flea markets, good old-fashioned jumble sales and this new-fangled thing called the internet.

A new life

Their origins vary - curtains, blankets, bed covers... I even made a bag out of an old 1950s pinnie.

It's all done by hand, you know

All of the bags are handmade by me. They are all lined and have internal pockets. I love using vintage buttons and ribbon to finish them off.

I am always on the look out for more...

I LOVE buttons. All of the buttons I use are from the 50s, 60s and 70s. They range from wooden, glass, leather and bakelite - and the bigger the better really.
