I design and make fashion accessories in Harris Tweed.

Once upon a time...

A little girl became older and her frustration became bolder
For no purse adequately catered to her needs
Somewhere for her love notes and mementoes
Her powder room essentials
Her compact, her mobile or keys

So one day she decided enough was enough
This problem needed to be solved
And she made a purse of adequate size
Elegant and stylish, witty and wise
Made from high quality materials with a worldwide reputation
A purse of distinction, made to create a sensation

She called it her HandyMandy purse
Neither a coin purse nor wallet it be
It’s a special kind of purse she said
It keeps safe the things that are important to me

When I was a little girl my first significant purchase was a tiny little purse from my local sweet shop. Then I found it was so tiny I couldn’t actually put any money in it. I guess looking back that marked the foundation of HandyMandy Purses.
