Yes, that's me, "The Bag Lady'!
I LoVe bags. I have lots and lots of them. Not expensive ones like you see in glossy magazines, I'd rather go on holiday than pay thousands for a designer bag. I have rather too many 'Cath' bags but that'll have to wait for another post all of it's own!
I started making bags to sell a long time ago and had planned to sell them in my notonthehighstreet.com shop but not only do they take such a long time to make but I also find them impossible to photograph. They never look just right. I tried photographing them in the garden, on a railing along the prom ( that got some funny looks I can tell you!) and in various props around the house, but none looked good enough for the website.
Yesterday, I found three bags that I made and gave up trying to photograph and I wondered if you might like a chance to win one. Would you? Oh please say yes, or they'll just have to go back in the box!
All you have to do is leave me a comment (and I'd love to know if you love bags too!) and I'll pick a winner next Friday!
Good Luck!
** I also have a giveaway on my Facebook page (link over on side bar) if you fancy entering that too!

Ps I love bags, I used to have a radley obsession but I have toned it down. I now use my cath kidston body bag everywhere. And I think you should persevere with the photography cos that bag is stunning and the rest must be too!
Hello Gina. I've just been reading about you in my Noths book and it brought a big smile to my face. It's a bit like reading about a friend and then I realised we hadn't even met! Love the bag though I know what you mean about photographing them. They're a flipping nightmare! xx
ReplyDeleteYour bags are gorgeous! I love the birds. I see how they must be tricky to photograph though. Please don't add me into the competition though, it would be embarrassing if I twice! Also, I already have way too many bags. I just wanted to say I like them. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love, love the bird bag, it's so beautiful, I would love to be in with a chance to win it. It's so lovely. You are such a talented lady. Love reading your blog, and looking at your designs.

Super gorgeous birds and bag. Of course I love bags, a girl can never have too many bags! I do think you should try to photogragh them again though to sell as they are adorable. Have you looked at how other people photo theirs on different sites for inspiration?

That's a gorgeous bag. It does look like it would take a lot of work to make (would take me forever), and people are so used to being able to buy things so cheaply these days. I'm sorry I didn't find you in time for a chance at the giveaway!
