More Bags

The sewing machine has not stopped since the last post, which is a poor excuse for the recent lack of attendance at the speakeasy. No, actually it's a good excuse - making lots of bags as well as the occasional coffee outing.
We actually produce a wider range of bags than our website shows and one day they will make it in to the shop. It's also worth mentioning that any phrase can be made up in any colour, so it's always worth emailing us to ask.


Here are some new bags - Seaside Song, London Forecast and Dear Prudence.

Bee Bag

A Bee bag in natural canvas (with black base) is now in the online shop. The bee bag is also available in black canvas, with different wording.

Contemporary Craft Fair 2011

Another busy weekend in Bovey Tracey. It's extremely hard work - from making enough stock, to pitching the tent, to setting up the stand, to standing and smiling for four days. But also hugely enjoyable, with fantastic work and lovely people.

What more could one ask for? Well, maybe a little more sunshine would be good, but you can't have everything.


It's very inspiring to be surrounded by work of such quality. And there was a very high calibre of visitor too. . 

All new Bee Bag

Our Bee Bags now feature slimmed-down versions of our buzzy friends. More busy honey bee than over large bumblebee.

It's back!

We are very pleased to announce that Red Canvas is now available. 


(Now known as 'Fiasco Red'. Although we called it that before. . . but that's another story. Let's just say it has always lived up to it's name.)


Bags are available in the online shop.

New Year?

I know that we're way behind everyone else, but, we've finally got around to acknowledging 2011. . . Let us assure everyone, however, that we are already hard at work at the trusty Bernina, with some new projects in mind and new words on our bags. 
We should also mention that we have linked up with a major online marketplace - we will put the relevant information up when we've uploaded all the detail onto the site. We're confident that this will help to spread the word(s) of Dr Bean.

Bovey 2011

Hooray! Dr Bean's Bags will be exhibiting again at the Contemporary Craft Fair, Bovey Tracey, next year.
What an honour! We're very pleased! There's lots of smiling!
