Meet the maker

I'm Helen hence name of the shop... I have been making bags for around 6 years I am self taught on the bag making front, although my Dad was a tailor and he taught me everything I know about sewing.
I have always enjoyed making clothes for myself and others but the bag making now is my love. I get up in the morning and can't wait to get started on a new one... My partner calls me the little elf as I am always in my studio, I can make just what I feel like there is always someone who likes it and they dont have to fit anyone
I use lots of recycled leather also belts and things that come my way... I love the look of vintage leather specially when it was a sofa... The landlady from our local pub gave me two old sofas from it and lots of the regulars have had bags made from them!
I will consider custom making bags for you if I feel I can make a good job of it...
Thanks for looking in my shop hope you will pop in from time to time to see what Iv'e been up to... x
