karina's bags
An ever changing collection of unique leather bags, handmade by a master craftsman with over 30 years experience in the leather trade. All my leathers are carefully sourced from the best British leathers and the trimmings are mostly vintage, ensuring each bag has it's own character. New designs and colours are introduced to the collection at least twice a month, satisfying your desire for all things new. As I try to do my meagre bit for the planet, I am using re-cycled packaging, which also helps to reduce the cost, so the price of your bag is exactly that and does not incorporate additional costs for printing etc! If you'd like to know more about the background to the business please see the about me section, or if you would like to be put on my mailing list for design updates and events email me at karina.hesketh@gmail.com or call me on 0191-2765109 Every bag is made, from cut to finish, entirely by myself. I seek out vintage trimmings every time I go abroad, and source my leathers very carefully, to ensure that each design has some unique feature. I will never use the same pattern more than ten times - even then, the design will be repeated in different leathers, with different trimmings. I will update my website regularly, introducing at least one entirely new design at this point, thus satisfying our desire for all things new. The price of each bag is exactly that, for, as I try to do my meagre bit for the environment, I will not be spending money on fancy packaging and expensive printing, so you will probably get your bag delivered in a box from my latest purchase, I promise there will not be too many wine boxes!
