Mini AW21 Lookbook || The Bow Bags

The Bow Bags have arrived! I started designing these earlier this year, creating bow shapes with scuba fabric and messing around with proportion, shape and size of the tote. 

I'm absolutely thrilled that they are here finally!

Designed just a few weeks into the arrival of Arthur (aka Munchkin), this super girly and bold collection is one to give your device a daily style update :-)

All styles are available for iPhone & Samsung devices in both the usual slim and also extra TOUGH case.

 

The next phase! - My work space photographed by Rebecca Yu

After the longest pause in my brands history, I AM BACK! 

All my stores are now open and the new extra girly collection has launched (see it here).

Phase one of the re-opening is high gloss finished personalised phone cases, available in both slim and extra TOUGH styles. From the all time classics to the new bright and bold block colours, hearts and every possible shade of pink!

To kick things off in true #girlboss style, I teamed up with the very talented photographer Rebecca Yu, we had loads of fun capturing my studio and also got a few really cute pics of my newest design in the process . . . Arthur! aka munchkin.

I started designing the new range when Arthur was a few weeks old, I look back at the time and think I must have been mad! I kept my work bag with me at all times, stored in the bottom of the pram while on a walk and whenever he fell asleep . . . the work would begin. I can't turn off the creative part of my brain and once I'm in the swing of it I find it so relaxing. Everyone kept telling me to sleep while he slept but I just wanted to design ha ha! My work bag and a stack of glossy fashion mags still live in the pram.

So here we go, back in the swing of things and it feels so good to be back :-)

Style Diary X The lockdown wardrobe released!

Warm summer evenings are here and it's finally time to release the wardrobe I bought throughout lockdown life! Didn't we all over shop online during isolation!

I bought this dress as I thought it would be 'bump friendly', in actual fact I wore it very little during pregnancy because we literally weren't allowed out!

The hubby brought these monochrome speckled insulation boards home and naturally to me they have more use as a backdrop to document my outfit before heading to Alberts in Didsbury for some cocktails! I even had to get Arthur involved in the photoshoot!

Spring Blossom - New ways of doing business

My little business is still closed while I adjust to my new life as 3 and we continue to set up my new (and slightly bigger) studio. 

This is just a reflective quick 5 minute thought really, if you are interested . . . . 

As I enter this new and exciting phase of my life, I've realised I need to focus on the part of my business that I LOVE! Designing the packaging is an addiction but physically wrapping and packing 103837289434773839 orders (bit of an exaggeration), especially over the busy Christmas period is not what I should be spending my time doing. Designing prints and products is my thing and that's where my time and energy should be.

So it's time to adapt. Possibly drop shipping or hiring somebody to come to my studio once or twice a week to wrap and pack. I'm not 100% sure what the answer is yet but it's an exciting time!
