The Southampton Collection features five different fabric-lined bags so you’ll always have the perfect bag to hand. The collection includes a shoulder bag, two tote bags and two book bags.


The shoulder bag features a light-weight cotton liner with step-by-step sewing instructions. The remaining bags all use purchased canvas liners, transforming them into stunning and stylish accessories. 


The two totes are an excellent size for carrying heavy loads back from the shops and one has a colourful dyed liner. Then the collection ends with two long-handled book bags, with additional key tags for easy access to your library cards or house keys.
