The Concept – The Collection.

So, the bags, my business, my baby…two&eightbags.com. The concept and collection has evolved over the past few months, from an idea, to sketches, to professional technical drawings, to a collection. Whoo hoo! Can’t say it’s been easy. Finances are tight, work is squeezed between childcare duties, lots of early mornings (before kids wake) and late nights (after they have gone to bed) but it’s worth it. Bags are my passion. I have had a desire to do this for a long while but circumstances have prevented it. This is my time and I am grabbing the opportunity with both hands.

Keeping the full details a little under wraps but I have a mission statement. Recently pulled together, I kinda like it. You?

‘Mission Statement’

Range combines fashion and utility, in well constructed, simple styles that transition seamlessly from season to season and from day to night.

Always looking for the perfect leather bag? That was me. There have been many, but never the perfect one. I have kept all the bags I have loved over the years and it is these that have provided the inspiration for my new range. There is also a twist… something special about each one! I am interested in the interplay of style and function. Simplicity is the key. Us ladies have got an image to maintain and a great bag can lift any outfit. That’s what I think anyway.

This whole thing is moving forward…. Getting excited. Samples currently being made!
