handmade leather bagsNew in this week – an old favourite – the Cotehele Nosebag.  This started out as a collaboration with the award winning textile designer Sam Pickard and was originally stocked exclusively by the National Trust at Cotehele House in Cornwall.

We always seem to get plenty of enquiries about our larger bags in the early autumn – maybe it’s because people have extra woollies to carry around – and the Cotehele Nosebag is no exception.  This one is in a gorgeous sky blue leather with rich chestnut straps and belt (which can be removed and used on jeans).

The blue leather also appears in Hilary’s latest selection of totes.  In the bag below she’s added silver into the mix.

And finally, our stash of gorgeous sisal baskets from ‘The Ladies of the Baskets’ in Kenya is getting smaller by the day…beautiful colours and fantastic prices (they range from £15-£30) and all proceeds go directly to the makers mamawakiondoo.com   They’re available in our Chulmleigh shop – the huge ones are especially perfect for filling with escapee toys or for hiding all the random stuff on the top of the fridge – grab one quick before they all go!
