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.
