Crafts at Bovey 2012

Dr Bean's Bags would like to say that we will be attending the Contemporary Craft Fair at Bovey Tracey this year.

London Bags

A group of smart London Bags. . . or should that be A smart group of London Bags. 
Or. . A group of Bags, which we think look quite smart, and have words about the fine city of London carefully sewn onto them, indicating that the general synopsis for the near future will be one of happiness.

It's been a long, cold week in the garden workshop of Dr Bean.

Sunny Photos

So, what do you do when the daytime temperature is below freezing? Well, go to the beach, obviously, to do a photo shoot. It was a beautiful sunny day though, just right for taking pictures.
We've just about thawed out. Many thanks to Steph.

Winter Blues (and other colours)

"Dr Bean, are you using a pair of curtains to line your bags?!"


"Why, certainly. And rather nice they look too."


We're just trying out some new lining fabrics (and some new words -to match this sudden arrival of floral elegance). We'll see if we can add more garden-themed bags to the range.


There's also a new striped lining, which, handily, looks good with the natural, blue or red canvas.

We should also point out that Dr Bean's Bags will be attending the Country Living Fair, in London 21 - 25 March 2012.

These nice stripies are in the online shop now.

Tredegar House

The Made by Hand fair at Tredegar House was rather good. Much like the fair at Bovey Tracey, the quality of artists was tremendous, with inspiring work at every turn.


A big thank you to everyone who came to see Dr Bean's Bags.

Made by Hand

Dr Bean's Bags are off to Wales tomorrow, to take part in the Made by Hand fair at Tredegar House, near Newport this weekend.
This is organised by the same lovely ladies who put on the Contemporary Craft Fair at Bovey Tracey in Devon, so it should be a pretty good event.
We'll have some of our stripey bags with us, to remind you of the summer we didn't have, or make you hopeful for the next one.
