Maker’s Note

I loved pairing this bold Scottish tweed with a bright, happy Smile motif — it’s the kind of bag that makes people grin when they see it. The oversized orange button is one of my favourite details; it brings a burst of colour that feels both playful and confident. A true fantoosh piece for anyone who enjoys carrying something a little bit fun.
