Studio Harlen iPad cases and bags

The folk at Studio Harlen make iPad cases and bags screen printed with graphic patterns - a perfect antidote to the endless florals.

Rachel Orme at Handmade in Britain 'London A Celebration' - Oxo Tower Galleries

Make sure you go down to the Handmade In Britain 'London A Celebration' show at Oxo Galleries this weekend (open 12th & 13th May from 11am to 6pm) and seek out Rachel Orme, one of my favourite designer-makers (last blogged about here).  Rachel makes a range of handbags, purses and folio cases using very high quality leathers, some are embossed or laser-etched with floral designs. All of her pieces are lined in Liberty lawn fabrics.

These are the perfect iPad cases, available in a range of colours (that pink is actually bright pink) and lined in Liberty lawn fabrics, fastening with a small magnet. This case can also be used for documents and papers...

yellow Rathbone satchel - adjustable strap, and with strap removed can be used as a clutch

green Rathbone satchel - great for the summer

you probably can't see the texture of the leather - it has a basket-weave effect - so so smart, this bag should be on Bond Street

Venus purses and make-up bags - made from glove leather and suede

this is a white embossed leather handbag (you probably can't tell from my poor quality photo). I say again: Bond Street. Rachel told me she only made 3 of these bags, so grab one while you can.

If you got a Kindle or an iPad for Christmas, you're going to need one of these to keep it safe.
