New Bags

Here's a  a couple of pics of new Bag and Lining colourways. The cheery lining fabrics are looking good and the black canvas has a certain sense of style that contrasts well with the natural canvas Bags. We've fitted the black Bag with a brass eyelet and shackle, which is rather classy. And, I guess, the black canvas won't show the dirt.

We'll add the black option to the website soon. (Once the Festival is out the way, probably).

New website is open

We would just like to announce that after a slightly longer time than we anticipated, the 'Dr Bean's Bags' new website is officially open - with a shopping facility. Hoorah! 

We can also say that we have been incredibly busy with sales (and, therefore, making) which is our excuse for a poor showing on the posting front. There are some new bag ideas and styles in the pipeline, so when we get a spare moment, we'll add these to the site.

Finally, Dr Bean's Bags will be attending the Garden Show at Stansted Park, Rowlands Castle, in Hampshire, so come along and have a look.

Spring is here at last. .

Perhaps the sunny spring weather has gone to our heads, but we're thinking of trying some alternative linings. . . These work rather well, especially with the natural canvas exterior.

More Alice in Wonderland

We made some bags with extracts from Alice in Wonderland on a while ago, but it's a theme that is worth returning to. We like the way that the strips of text give the bag extra 'body', so that's a good reason to put more on. 

The text is on both sides of the bag by the way, and if we were fully organised, proper bloggers we would have a photo of the other side as well, but you'll just have to take our word for it.

Ok, in the future we will try and show the front and the back. .

You might be able to tell that this isn't the Isle of Wight. . . 

Still Waiting. . .

Yes, I know - the new website is not up yet. Be patient, it's on the way. In the meantime, here are some photos of new blue / turquoise stripy bags that will be available on the new site. 

Also a photo of snowy Gurnard (thanks Beth for the pic) - just to prove that the Island didn't totally miss out on the alpine experience . . . even though it soon disappeared.
