I'm not someone for being on camera but when asked after supporting me for so long, I thought I have to do it. Then I thought this is more than being about me and what I do, it's about all the people behind you, around you supporting you and also running small businesses, the knock on effect of that. That is one of the greatest things about small businesses, never underestimate how those communities can help people grow and .co really is that place.

Some of the small businesses I use in London that I mention are who have always made my leather dies for embossing, are the kindest people and have been going for so many years even though East London is growing rapidly around them. J.T Batchelors in Dalston, who've known me pretty much all my leather life and know everything there is to know about leather and their Little Workshop with incredible leather machines that allow us small businesses to use. Much love to them all

I'm so excited about these! I love squeezing some time for art into my work and these large tote bags were a real labour of love.

One of a kind, each bag is made from waste waxed canvas from all my V&A orders over the years, meticulously stitched into panels and featuring collaged pieces hand painted by me and my incredible painter partner

We were quite inspired by dystopian worlds and futuristic shapes having binge watched the entire mini Star Wars series Andor 😅 which had the most amazing costume design.

Reusing, repurposing and adding ethically produced Italian vegetable tanned leather. Every bag is fully lined in 100% cotton twill and is design numbered.

A new saddle bag I've created and available to buy. I was inspired by that kind of traditional American style hand tooled leather bags. The flowers embossed on the flap and strap of the bag were drawn by me, then made into dies so that I could imprint the leather.

Made from long lasting vegetable tanned leather with an adjustable strap. Available in forest green or jet black.

There is currently a discount running until Sunday 2nd Nov on .co with 10% off using code EARLYBIRD10

It's more important than ever if you can to support small UK businesses in this ever changing climate 🙏

All the blues 💙 you've all been going for blue bookmarks lately! Thank you so much everyone who's been buying these and supporting my business 😊 perfect for Father's day, and you all ask me to write such sweet messages to your loved ones. Each leather bookmark has a different part of an original silk escape map from the Cold War and a little message telling the story. They were used by the RAF in case escape was needed as they could easily be scrunched up and hidden.

There's still time to get them for Father's day or even just for yourself and own a little piece of history. I ran out of green bookmarks and wallets but these will be back in stock this Thursday.

I'm terrible at posting here, but if anyone was to make me feel I should, it's I was incredibly lucky to be invited yesterday for her .co event. I've known Holly for nearly 20 years, she was one of the first people to stock my work on Not on the high street when she first created it. She always believed in my work and has supported me ever since which is extremely rare in this industry.

A humbling moment also to find a fellow Co who makes beautiful sustainable garlands, with one of my bags she purchased over 10 years ago! Ironically the bag that drew Holly to me in the first place. What a full circle.

is building something truly special with all her heart and the support yesterday nearly blew the roof off 🩷 well done you.

I created this collection earlier this year in collaboration with and have just delivered a new batch of stock in time for Christmas. This collection was so great to work on, having access to The V&A archives meant we could use the most beautiful artworks for inspiration.

Each piece in this current collection is embossed with a drawing I created from a very old archive oak leaf pattern belonging to The V&A.

Each bag is made from waxed canvas from the UK, sustainably produced vegetable tanned leather from Italy, purchased in the UK and all fittings. Every bag carried a QR code, tracing the leather back to tannery.

I've just finished a batch of these lovely vegetable tanned leather saddle bags in deep navy blue for in store now in time for Christmas. Each one is handmade by me from genuine Italian sustainable produced leather. Each bag carries a traceability code explaining about the tannery that produces the leather in Tuscany.
