Here at Grafea we carefully chose the best quality calfskin for our bags.
Our caramel coloured leather is vegetable tanned using wax and other traditional ingredients and has got a gorgeous vintage-look finish .One thing that you probably did not know is that it is also anti-allergic and will get darker as it ages which will add tones of character to the bag.It also does not stain in the rain.

Everyday i pass by the Lancashire Eccles Cakes Bakery located in Ardwick Manchester on my way to the office.
The aroma that comes out of that place is out of this world.
In fact i wish i had an eccles cake right now with my coffee…..
You can watch a very intresting video of the company here which was part of the ”Great British Railway Journeys” series with Michael Portillo



The Chinese Year of the white Tiger has begun.I went over to the city centre of Manchester yesterday with some friends to view the celebrations.China town was so colourful and busy.I wish it was a little bit less cloudy , I would have taken better photos.
