Everyday Luxury
Which is your bag?
The bag you choose will see you through all kinds of days and events. We all have our own style and shape preferences and these collections are where you'll find a bag that says
'This is me'
Beautifully tactile, luxurious to look at and to hold.
The Process
-
Planning the fabric
This starts with putting the colours together and then deciding on a weave structure that I think will show them off to their best. I also need to think about how this fabric will look in particular bag styles.
-
Weaving
Setting up the loom with the new yarn is a slow, methodical and highly enjoyable process. The weaving takes time and seeing the pattern emerging is intensely rewarding. I start to imagine how the fabric will look when cut and sewn.
-
Cutting and sewing
Laying out the pattern pieces and cutting the fabric is next. The most difficult part is matching distinct stripes or patterns in the fabric but the end result is worth it. The pieces are hand sewn and finished to a very high standard.
-
Final touches
Choosing the correcting 'findings' really makes the bag look perfect. The handles and hardware are matched to each specific fabric and bag.
