New Bags



We have added some new designs of bag to the online shop - a new 'Alice in Wonderland' bag (yes, darlings, it's just SO on trend) and the very popular 'Pirate Song' Bag. (We're not sure why this one has proven to be such a hit. Good words, we guess).

Photography (for website and blog)proves to be the hardest bit to control. It sounds easy, doesn't it? Everyone else manages perfectly well. . . Make some nice items (that's the easy bit) and then photograph them to put online.

We wait for a sunny day, which has been a long time coming this winter, and go down to Gurnard beach, behind the Sailing Club, past the very desireable beachside homes and position the said bags ready for a pleasing picture. Well, there's usually a gale blowing, or the sun suddenly disappears, or the tide is in (doh). . . or the camera isn't charged. . . ok, perhaps that wouldn't happen to a professional.

But, we're working on it. And we think we've found the best option - park next to the sea front on Egypt Esplanade, place bag on concrete balustrade and voila - as long as the bag is weighted down, we can usually get a reasonable image and background. And, given time, we might improve. After all, we have a very photogenic location.
