I studied fashion many moons ago and went on to work for a British fashion designer. After many years I decided it was about time I did something creative under my own name.

I have a slight obsession with fabrics especially bright prints, I love turning a funky fabric into a great usable item

I also enjoy creating my own designs with embellishments.

All my bags are made from my own patterns, I start off with an initial design idea then keep working with the proportions till I get a bag I like.

All my bags are one off originals no two bags are the same, I only ever buy small amounts of fabric. There's so much mass produced stuff out there I think it's about time people became more unique. You can find some of my designs for sale on my etsy page.

I'm now hoping to get into making more creative things for myself again
