I love my Hotch Potch monkey satchels (known as “the sock monkey bags” in store) Rainbow coloured and surprisingly practical….no, really, they are! loads of room in them…priced at £35, available in 3 colour ways.

   Oooh, while we’re on the subject of monkeys, Paul Frank bags are now available in new designs. A larger wallet is also now available too (more Julius purses too for those waiting for them!) and the new Autumn/Winter colours (black, teal, hot pink) should be in store shortly.

   Been a hectic few days at the shop with a flurry of deliveries just in time for the holidays. Some ever popular favourites are back in stock in the form of Dandy and Paper Plane (phew!) and some new ranges too….

   First up (because it’s my favourite new addition) is the Beatles tickets line, I just love the retro look of these, they’re in a similar style to Paper Plane, but have a less feminine look. Purses, wallets, wash bags and mini satchels….prices from £16.50

    Next up, and off at a tangent…Moomins (I remember them as the very slightly spooky stop-frame animation, these are based on the original illustrations of Tove Jansson)…cute as, Toffle, Litttle My and company. Purses, wash bag, make up bag…prices from £15.

     First up, we have ladies’ leather purses. Small enough to fit in a clutch, decorated with romantic vintage style images and embossed lettering. See below…£15 each.

   Next up, Pretty City. Leather purse, pass holder and make up bag with bold London prints…..very patriotic. See below….prices from £11.50.

   And finally for the boys (or the girls that, like me, prefer a wallet) a nice pile of Golunski leather, including some great new designs…. See left….priced at £15 & £18.

   Some beautiful new pieces from SilverSeaShells arrived this morning. I’ve selected some slightly larger pendants than usual this time, so we have an even wider range to choose from.

   Bags from Paul Frank industries are now in too. Featuring Julius the monkey on purses and cross body messenger bays……

…..and ten new titles are in stock in the Old School badges range!

…………..and the first smaller pieces from The Keepsake Collection have landed too, see below.

So, what’s new…..well the shop is now filled with enough lovely, light Indian scarves to keep even Steven Tyler happy (Google him if you’re too young to remember Aerosmith) They’re in loads of colours and starting at £3 they’re a steal. Ideal to pop in a pocket to whip out as the air cools on a Summer evening. Arriving with them was a big bundle of happy skelly scarves too, so satisfy your inner pirate….or your secret gothic side.

Due to land next week are a fresh batch of SilverSeaShells….and the first few pieces of a range called the Keepsake Collection (see below) I’ll let you know when they land…
