Shoulder Bags

Gals love their shoulder bags – and they like them to be original, smart looking, and functional. A bag should last a long, long time (especially if you care about sustainability), and be adaptable according to changing seasons, styles, moods.

The Bag Customizer tool on our website comes lets you Design your bag from a range of 64 hand printed art panels and a range of pin-on accessories – from wee birds, to owls, leaves, flowers or trees. Our step-by-step guide makes it easy to find your creative side, and to test and play with options.

  1. Select your favourite colour – from our monochromes, rich jewel tones (LOVE the new emerald!), or brights for confident, playful women
