What are you looking for?

If you are looking for a handbag, scarf, purse or gift that is a bit special and a little bit different that will suit your personality. That is practical but well crafted and fun to wear then you are bound to find something here. You will find products that make a special treat for yourself or that make perfect presents.

I create products that are contemporary, quirky and fun and these are often made from very traditional Scottish fabrics, tartan and tweeds. I use simple sewing techniques to produce good quality products that are sculptural and exciting for you to use and wear. You will hopefully find something that will suit your style and wardrobe. If cant find exactly what you are looking for then feel free to get in touch and we can discuss your requirements.

Style & Quality

Working mainly in fabrics locally sourced from textile Mills in and around the Scottish and English Borderlands. Fine Scottish Tweeds, Tartans and fresh printed Linens and cottons.

Scotland and England both have a rich history in the production of high quality woven and printed cloth, and are much sought after by designers through-out the world. There is an amazing history of this in the Scottish Borders although fewer Mills remain in production at this time making the fabrics just a little bit more special.

I have a beautiful collection of cloths that I have collected over a number of years including tweeds from Anthony Haines, Hinnigan, Lochcarron, Elliot, Linton Tweed and some Harris Tweed. I use these in my collections or you can come to my studio and choose for yourself and I can make you a bespoke bag to suit your requirements. You can also commission a bag in the tartan of your choice or have a bag made up in a fabric you have supplied.

Your bag will be made by me in my Studio in St, Boswells a beautiful small village in the heart of the Scottish Borders which is surrounded by the stunning Borders landscape and rich Scottish History.

My Collections

My accessories include Handbags, Scarves, Purses, Corsages and Brooches alongside my gift collection Frumpy Fairies, Cannie Men, key rings  with Cushions to compliment the range.

My Handbag designs are all named around traditional Scottish words giving them a unique, descriptive and fun element that relates to the style and construction of the handbag. For instance, there are Skeeries, Fantooshes, and Peerie Poaks. They are often made in 2 sizes, “Wee or Muckle” and as a result, my trademark product is aptly named a “Muckle Fantoosh”

My handbags have travelled the world with customers in France, Sweden, America and Japan. I was invited to Japan to the cities of Hakata and Osaka for the Hanku department stores British Fairs to demonstrate my sewing skills. This was an amazing opportunity and included a Japanese film crew coming to my studio and village to make a TV commercial for the fairs. I flew to Japan for 10 days and was made made very welcome at both the fairs. This forged links between my company and Japan and I now have customers who come and visit when they come over to Scotland.
