This bag is an absolute pleasure to feature. What a lovely journey it has been, following this beauty.
Many years ago (probably early 2000's), I designed a bag and had it handmade in full-quill ostrich by the wonderful Fiona Ho. I have carried this bag everywhere, particularly when I travel, and absolutely adore it. Fiona was an absolute dream to deal with - a really amazing woman.
Michelle saw my bag, loved it, and I put her in contact with Fiona, who made a very similar one, with Michelle's own adjustments. During production, it was called The Janet Bag. Read about the design here.
Michelle submitted her gorgeous bag for a What's in My Bag post
This bag is still my everyday favorite and looks as good as the day I got it! I had an insert made from an Etsy seller which has made all the difference.
In my bag today I have;
• My PW Gillio in black Matt croco
• A group of fabric samples , inspiration for some furniture I am thinking of re-upholstering
• Sunglasses
• Assorted dog treats
• Deodorant
• Makeup bag
• Sympathy card from my vet, post card of a newfoundland, bookmarks.. I was thinking of using one as a book mark in my planner
• Perfume by Chris Collins "African Rooibos" the best scent I have found in about 20 years! [Janet's note: Being South African, this perfume sounds awesome. Why had I never heard of it until today? I love the smell of my Rooibos beauty products, so I would love a sniff of this!]
•My trusty Ipod, I have about 400 books on it, my back up for when I cannot sit and read..
• Some sort of cat charm. One of my clients gave it to me for Christmas one year and it's been tucked away in my bag ever since...
•Saline solution.
And, for anyone interested, my "makeup"bag contains;
• Hot chocolate pack
• Lots of tea bags
• Tooth picks
• Advil!!!
I had a real Ostrich planner from VDS made last year to go with my bag, very pretty together! [this design is absolutely spectacular and I have asked Michelle if she would be willing to share more photographs with us, and details of the design]
