British Wool Tweed Tote Handbag - Hand crafted - handmade with real lea
A beautifully handcrafted, individual, Tweed Handbag made using Classic British Tweed with individually hand stitched real leather handles. The bag is also fitted with a leather key finder strap.
Measures approximately 18 by 15 inches.
Every bag I create is one of a kind, with each one having its own unique features, from different lining fabrics to different coloured zips to different coloured pocket linings. Making each bag a truly exclusive item.
The bags take many hours to create from the design stage through to adding the finishing touches, including stitching the leather handles onto each bag or cutting and riveting the leather straps by hand (depending upon the style of the bag.) The bags are made with the highest quality ensuring that Premium Luxury is created in each bag.
Each of my bags are made using British tweed which is made from British wool, as being a farmer’s daughter, I wanted to support our British Farmers and British Manufacturers wherever I can.
I ensure that all of the linings and pockets are made from contrasting, mix and match, high-quality fabrics e.g. Liberty of London, Rose & Hubble, Viyella, real velvet, etc. I interline each bag with a stiffened interfacing and they also have a firm base inserted to the bottom of the bag so they hold their shape. Each bag is fitted with brass feet, to ensure that the fabric on the bottom of the bag is always protected from being in direct contact with the ground, which will keep the bag in better condition for years to come.
The bag has a magnetic clasp fastener to ensure that the bag is secure. It also features an internal slip pocket which has been divided into two and should be the correct size to hold most mobile phones and also has an internal zip pocket.
Every bag that I make is truly unique in its own right.
All of my bags are handcrafted by myself from my workshop next to my cottage in Devon, which I had built for all of the handmade products that create. I spend many hours in there creating my unique products with my little helper by my side, Basil, my little Jack Russell, unless he has spotted a bird or a cat to chase out of HIS garden…..
