According to the weather forecast the bank holiday weekend is looking good

 with the exception of heavy rain  on Saturday.I haven’t planned anything yet but hopefully

something will come up….

There are still people out there that create beautiful leatherwork art.I would personally love to have a leather handbag with my face carved on it!!

I wouldn’t use it but would have it as a decoration on a display cabinet in my house.

If you want to browse more  leatherwork take a peek here

 I came across this leather 50s handbag last week.I do not think that the picture does much justice to its beautiful aged color.

A very typical 50s shape posibly the most commonly used by women of that era.

It came along with some pictures of everyday family  moments kept inside the bag .

I reckon it will make a comeback at some point in the near  future

A lot of people have been asking about our new  white leather range  .

It will be available online in a couple of weeks time.

Do not miss this months She magazine.

If you love bags it has got a special on hot new bag trends

I love behind the scenes photos .For that reason I am posting some photos from our latest fashion shoot.

We had a wonderful crew that worked really hard and the results are amazing.

I do not know if you are like me but i love vintage school staff.They look so cool .

I wish there was a time machine to take me back to the 50s -60s to take a look at people’s bags.

In my high school time i had a battered blue polo rucksack and

 i used to tie a red scarf on the handle.I do have a photo of that somewhere in my parents house.

What was your high school bag??

If you are a fan of the 70s and you like sewing here is a fab project of

how to make a matching set of lightweight, great looking luggage;

a tote bag, a suitcase, a suit bag and a dress bag — super shapes,

with trim variations. Four piece luggage set in bright canvas with

optional contrast piping, monograms and colorful woven band handles.

I cannot believe how cold it is outside but I reckon we will get our two glorious weeks of sunshine and fab weather in the next week or so.

I love this old men’s purse
