The making of a bag...



My dear friend and super talented leather worker Cathy made me a bag (well actually two) to take to New York.  


She brought the hide, the softest, dusky blue nubuck, round to our house one day with a paper pattern. Ollie and Tomsk were very interested. They always love to join in.


Then she worked magic in her studio until these babies were born (the little one was a surprise). They are soooo beautifully made and I was extremely happy to go off on my travels with such a loveliness.


We thought we'd take a few pictures of her bag in NYC for Cathy.

..and Cathy's bag with the Empire State building!

Thanks so much Cathy. You'll have to make yourself a special one for when you go yourself. New York awaits x

Cathy works at Brooklyn Studios (that's Hebden Bridge, not New York) and you can visit her at the end of the month during open studios.
