The way you carry your bag says...

The way you carry your bag says...

Do you tuck it under your arm or sling it over your shoulder? The way you carry your bag makes a bigger statement than you might expect.

Can Leather Bags Be Ethical and Eco-Friendly?

Can Leather Bags Be Ethical and Eco-Friendly?

I have always preferred natural products over anything man-made. I grew up on a farm, so I guess that where I first developed a love of nature and our natural surroundings. I also felt I had a good understanding of where leather comes from and the processes we use to turn a hide into a handbag, but I knew little about the vegan leather industry until recently.....and this is what I discovered.

Gold Box Clutch with braided woven detail

Forget Diamonds, Handbags Are A Girl’s best friend....

One of the most important relationships in any woman’s life is that between her and her bag. Whether you actually own your dream bag or just day dream about owning it, the enduring love and partnership between you too is an unbreakable bond.

But unlike our desire for a bigger diamond, our bags have become smaller

What I do in bed - An Interview with Hawkins & Co

What I do in bed - An Interview with Hawkins & Co

Sleep is very important to me (especially having 3 children under 4), it’s something I prioritise – it’s actually at the top of my list, it comes before designing handbags and running a business. I truly believe that in business to be successful you need do things well – and you can’t do a good job if you’re not at your best. I take time to turn off my phone and switch off from emails each day. Not only is it important to get enough sleep, but in today’s world of Facebook, Instagram, snapchat, emails and iphones it’s even more important to switch-off at end of the day. Getting quality sleep is as important as getting enough, so you won’t find me sitting up in bed checking emails and my instagram likes. I’ve got my eyes shut tightly and I fall asleep dreaming of designs in my head –that’s where I do my best designing work!

Is Real leather is better than Vegan Leather

Vegan Handbag v Leather Handbag

So real leather v fake leather. Which is better? Welcome to the complex world of ethical fashion!

I was looking for inspiration a couple of nights ago when I came across a black tote bag on a popular fashion website. I clicked on the bag to take a closer look and up popped a warning. Yes WARNING!!!! The warning said “This bag is made from vegan leather and may contain chemicals that cause cancer”. What! Until I read that I was just like everyone else thinking that vegan leather, may be a “eco friendly” alternative.

Do dreams come true?

Do dreams come true?

They say the key to success is to simply show up every day and do what needs to be done. But showing up is the easy part. It’s staying focused that’s the real challenge. 

Success is NOT simply a matter of luck. It’s obtainable by all of us. No you don’t have to be in the right place at the right time...
