A Little Summer Escape & a Sneak Peek at the Autumn Collection

August is nearly over, and although I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to summer, I'm getting very excited about what's coming next.

I'm currently enjoying a little break in Lyme Regis, a place full of happy memories for our family - and one that seems to attract artists and makers wherever you look. It's been the perfect place for a little R&R and some inspiration before getting back to the studio.

And the Autumn Collection is finally taking shape!

I've chosen the fabrics and decided on five different bag styles, with three carefully chosen prints, making 15 new bags in total.

For now, I'm keeping the designs under wraps, but I couldn't resist giving you a peek at some of the fabrics that will feature. This is just one of the beautiful prints that will feature.

Can you guess what type of bag these fabrics will become?

Back in the studio, I'll also be completing some bespoke orders and making my new crossbody shopping bags, which will be heading out to my next big market at The Romsey Show on 12th September, followed by Second Sundays on 13th September.

I can't wait to get cutting, sewing and bringing the Autumn Collection to life!

Watch this space… there's lots more to come.
