When I moved to Cumbria two years ago, I wasn't expecting to be setting up my own bag-making business. The lush landscape, the art which burgeons around the county, and hours spent browsing local fabric shops reawakened my creative talent. I take my inspiration from creating something both beautiful and useful out of swatches and roll ends of discontinued designer fabrics gleaned from local businesses. Each bag I make is eye-catching and unique and has a certain quirkiness, which cannot be matched by popular, mass-produced brands.
