Rachel Orme handbags

Rachel Orme, maker of handbags, uses beautiful materials for her creations: this embossed leather (in pic below) is particularly delicious; lining materials are Liberty or William Morris fabrics, or striped ticking.

Rachel has some great shopper / tote bags - both the Monmouth and Charlotte have a zipped pocket and mobile phone pocket on the inside, and the Charlotte has a magnetic closure at the top, and the length of the straps can be adjusted by the buckles.

The Monmouth (36 x 33 x 10cm), fabric from £80, leather from £140.

The Charlotte (29 x 38 x 14cm, narrowing to 7.5cm) from £190.

Rachel offers a bespoke or semi-bespoke service allowing customers to choose the leather, lining and fittings - contact her via her website for more info.
