Each item is hand crafted in West Sussex from 100% pure new British wool, felted, blocked and handfinished to produce a truly unique (yet practical) piece of textile art for you to enjoy.  Our handbags are worked "in the round" from the gusseted base up without any seams, giving each handbag a sculptural element. 
 
The corsages are attached to the bags with safety brooch pins, enabling you to change the colour story to suit your mood. 
 
Choose a bag in a neutral colour (cream, chocolate, slate or black) and you can create so many different looks with additional corsages.  See our Wool Colour Charts for all the gorgeous colours available, which include a comprehensive range of neutral, bright and muted shades.

The "Absolute Essentials" bag from £30

 

This bag is the perfect size for a glamorous evening or day out!

 

It measures approximately (L)15cm x (H)17cm x (D)8cm (excluding handle), so is large enough for the essentials: money, keys, phone & lipstick.  The handles loop through one another to fasten securely and this beautiful bag hangs neatly from your wrist, enabling you to hold a glass of champagne in each hand,... should you need to! 
 
This design is our most popular for a wedding, as floral decorations can be designed to compliment any elegant bridesmaid/bridal ensemble.  Please contact us for more information about ordering this bag in a bespoke colour.
