and another one - the same shape/pattern but just to show how it looks in a different colour.

Our Strength messenger bag

I'm running off to shop - and yes, it is 9.45 on a Sunday night but well, needs must as we've run out of cat food.But here is just a very quick one - the "Strength" bag with a plethora of lions. I think this is our best selling bag - or maybe it's neck-and-neck with Alice.Oh, by the way, the jacket is an original 19th century one in perfect condition. It's designed to be worn over a bustle - utterly wonderful and all hand stitched (and if you madly want to buy it tell me quickly and I'll ask the selling price as on Tuesday it will go back to the shop we borrowed it from - I WISH I could find an excuse to buy it myself):

This was the little guy who also took part in the photography session. Completely unafraid - I suppose he's used to people.

The Gothic bags

This photo is by Alex. Modelled by Aida, hair and make-up by Eva (whose surname I need to find and post - eek) Eva is now about to begin work for Mac in Prague, so if you get a chance to go to the Mac shop ask her to do a make-over for you, she's fantastic and LOADS of fun - and speaks perfect English as she lived in England for years.Aida looks beautiful in these photos - I hope the bags do too! This photo is by Alex. Soon I'll post the images by the photographer we've been working with - Simon Chang.

Bohemian Gothic messenger bags

Finally we have most of the real bags photographed (though not all - some had to be posted out before Alex had a chance) so for now here are the Bohemian Gothic ones. It is GOOD to see these for real at last.Strength
