Eco-Ethical Handbags, Jewellery and Clothes in Three, Two, One…
Well, this is much more tiring that I thought. We’re here putting the final touches to the new-look website. Of course, you won’t be able to read this until it’s actually live, but I just want to blog and let it all out anyway. It’s really been hard work. We did the photoshoot on Thursday [...]
MooFree Leather-Free Bags Now In Stock

When We’re Tired, We Make Mistakes
That’s certainly true of me at the moment. Do you know what I did yesterday? No? I’ll tell you. I carefully crafted a Facebook advert to let people know about the new site (which you may have noticed we have kind of put live). I got the text and photo exactly how I wanted them. [...]
Almost There…

We’ve also got to make the pages load as fast as possible by making things more efficient (we want people to enjoy themselves, not be shouting “Load, damn you!” [...]
Supplier ‘Issues’
One of our intended suppliers uses leather in their bags. This is not something we want to go for. It was quite a surprise to us. To be as fair to them as possible, it is re-claimed leather, and they do point out that leather is not really biodegradable (once tanned), but we want to [...]
