wedding purses £40/£42


      

I have designed a collection of silk bags and purses which are ideal for dressy or special occasions such as weddings or a trip to the theatre or ballet.  All of the items are individually handmade to order at my studio in Scotland, and I can personalise them further for you with an embroidered monogram, name or special date.

My 2010 collection is currently only available to buy online, at this site and at my new website, yourweddingpurse.co.uk , although I do occasionally exhibit pieces for sale in Gallery exhibitions.  For example, the ballet purses (pictured top left) from my current collection were selected for inclusion in the 'Gifted' exhibition of contemporary Scottish crafts at the National Museum of Scotland

In addition to the main 2010 collection, if you would like to commission a bag or purse to be made from your own fabric for a wedding or special occasion, you can choose to use the bespoke service

Please browse through the collection to view the different styles and colours available, and go to the how to order page of the website for more information on buying a bag or purse. 

Postage and packing is FREE to UK mainland addresses for all the bags and purses ordered from the 2010 collection

  You may also be interested in designs from previous collections, some of which (not shown in the current collection) are available on Special Offer in the online shop (UK only).
