Juicy Japanese floral

A while ago I designed this print for Makower UK as part of a collection called Hikari. I wanted to use bright jewel tone colours for this collection and I'm loving the result. It sits on a luscious purple background and has touches of metallic gold to make it zing.

Look how fabulous it looks on this zipper pouch! Now available in my Etsy store.

It makes the perfect gift for a Japanophile or floral-lover.

The bag is lightly padded and is fully lined in a contrasting light purple lining.

International Bazaar 2013

The International Bazaar at the Tokyo American Club is now over and was a great success. It was held on Wednesday and Thursday and drew in a good crowd. It was great to get to see some of my friends whilst working there, as well as catching up with returning customers and meeting new ones. Thanks to everyone for their support over the past few days and I look forward to coming back next year!

New kid on the block

I've been meaning to make large clutch bags that have detachable handles for a while now and it actually happened by mistake in the end! I ordered a bulk load of clasps and got the wrong ones delivered. These ones had the option to add a chain handle, so I gave it a go and love it!

 I have only done one so far, and it has a short 38cm chain that fits snuggly over the shoulder or arm and makes juggling a drink and food at a 'do' much easier.

I love the geometric patterns and the red, black and white colourway, mixed with the mustard yellow of the lining.

If you prefer the traditional clutch (which is my preference) you can detach the chain, or simply tuck it inside the bag. You can find it in my Etsy store here.
