This particular style is named the "Dolly" bag, for it's small, dinky shape, and slightly vintage styling.
Here, a beautiful traditional 'Keeper Tweed' in soft green tones is combined with a vibrant buttery yellow Italian lambskin leather...making for a striking focal point that remains subtle and classic.
The 'Keeper' Tweed is a fabric originally woven to be worn and used by gamekeepers in the Scottish Highlands for it's durability, warmth and natural resistance to the elements. The handles and flap closure are made from the most luxurious, butter soft Italian leather, and these, vibrant and fun cotton lining, make a striking bag that could be used for both day and evening.
Measuring 7"x 11" and 4" deep at the base, the Dolly bag has a firm plastic base, and closes with a magnetic catch in the leather flap closure. The leather handles are approx. 16" long, so they have an opening of 7" from the top of the bag, to the top of the handle.
For some people, this handle opening is enough to slip over your shoulder and have the bag snug under your arm, but it was actually designed to hang nicely when carried in your hand, or, to continue the slightly vintage look, to be worn in the "crook" of your arm- over your elbow.
All my bags are entirely handmade by me in a smoke free, and pet free studio. They are double-stitched throughout, and triple stitched at any stress points. To keep their shape, they are all fully interfaced with ultra thick interfacing, and each comes packaged in its own protective cotton dust cover.
Every single bag we create is a one off design, never to be repeated in exactly the same way again. We love the creative challenge this affords us and knowing that each of our customers gets something totally unique to them!
