Who can remember my handbags with this gorgeous upholstery velvet side panel?
I’m itching to make another saddlebag featuring this absolutely stunning piece of art.
It perfectly sums up our love of our horses.
Which bag style though 🤔

Another Commission complete today and then I’ve had the afternoon off walking the Dorset hillocks.
There is a life outside of making handbags and I really have to remind myself that every now and again, I’m an all or nothing type of person.

My latest commission of a handbag made from a customers very special saddle.
The Branston but with a slightly different flap- the wavy flap.
So the saddlebag was made completely from my customers saddle and tack.
Grey waxed thread hand-stitching.
The only non saddle leather was the matching grey gusset lining.
My customer requested her browband was to become a handle and I used her bridle to make a shoulder strap.
The breastplate became an across body strap and it also became the closure.
The saddle makers plate was incorporated too into the closure strap.
Six keyrings were made from the off-cuts.
A very pleasing end to the week.

My latest commission of a saddle to a handbag is this beautiful Original Rucksack that can also be used as a large handbag.
Here it is as a handbag
The strap easily converts to Rucksack straps.

The Original design is the first ever design to be made into a handbag from a saddle.
It uses the whole of the saddle flap so it can be a large bag.
This one has been made from the whole of the saddle, the seat leather, the panel leather, the gullet leather, the skirt and the flaps.
My customers girth has been used for the straps and the browband as the handy handle.
This one is having fitted an inner pocket and a key tie.
A lovely commission but a lot of work, this bag was made over two long days.

My latest creation of a handbag made from a saddle .
This was a lovely saddle to work with and I was so pleased when my customer said she’d like a Daisy.
I adore making these bags, I’ve recently tweaked my design and I’m loving the result.
My customer requested an across body strap and a separate handle.
This makes the bag super adaptable as when the across body strap is removed the bag can be carried via the browband handle.
An everyday bag becomes an evening bag.
The Daisy can be made from nearly every type of saddle.

I sent out yesterday a few lovely orders that came through over the weekend and today I had a phone call from a customer who loved what I do, this customer had seen me on Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh and had followed me since, it was lovely chatting to you Caroline.

I also had a text from a customer to say she loved her bag that she’d purchased from my website.
Here it is….

Hi Tanya, just to say thank you so much for the beautiful ‘Forever Proud’ Lucky Saddle bag which arrived this morning and I am delighted with ! I had a Stubben saddle in these colours which I sold when I retired my horse 5 years ago so this beautiful bag has brought back so many memories . And it smells of horse 🐎!! Could not be happier , genuinely it is a work of art which I will be able to use for ever ! Many thanks, Sophie x

This makes my day and shows that you don’t still need to have “the” saddle to have those memories come flooding back.

All of the bags on my website are just waiting for their special person to come along to remind them of special times with.
Bag shown is called Winning Kate and is available on the website shown above on page info

Ahh just how sweet is this little girth guard bag.
The perfect evening bag or for when you just want a phone and keys to be contained in an across body bag.
Additional browband handles are available for when you want to carry the bag in your hand.

Showstoppers are as you’ll all know a design that I hold right there close to my heart.
So how could I forget to put this beauty on my website!
Well better late than never I suppose!
Can an evening bag really get any more equine than this, this shouts loud and proud that you are horsey!
