The super talent that is Nancybird!

You'll never guess who we've been printing for!

Nancy Bird's new range

Ok, so maybe you will...

...That's right! We've been printing for the one, the only, the amazing Nancybird!

Many, many of our clients & visitors have Nancybird bags (which we have coveted for years & years) and so when a gorgeous lady with a fantastic handbag came in for a visit or meeting, it was to a chorus of "Ooooh!"'s and "Is that a Nancybird??"'s which of course lead to long, gushing, admiration-filled, Nancybird discussions.

SO! You can imagine just how beside ourselves we were when Emily (the lovely talented lady behind the label) emailed us, saying she had (ahem) "a small bag & accessories label" and wanted to come in and discuss printing!

We tried very hard to be all cool & professional, the whole time feeling completely starstruck! I mean she is one of our main inspirations! Just look at her!! She's created & runs an successful, independent, designer label!!! (Quick we need another exclamation mark!!!!) Seriously tho, how much to we want to be her when we grow up? About a gazillion. :)

As we have gotten to know her over our many meetings, emails & phonecalls, we have found she is so down-to-earth, super friendly, quite relaxed for someone who runs her own business (trust us, that's a nigh impossible thing to achieve) and is completely unaware of how awesome the rest of the world thinks she is. I've tried to tell her on several occasions, but I don't think she believes me yet.

Oh well, I'll just keep trying.

We printed all of Emily's single colour designs in her new seasons range, which you will find in stores this coming Monday! Hooray!

Meanwhile, we can't wait for the release, coz we're totally going to finally get our much coveted, long awaited Nancybird bag! How could we not, as we actually printed with our very own hands some of the material!! It's almost too exciting to bear.

Me, I'm leaning toward the Stitch Bag from her Classic Collection - see below. What do you think?
