For a lovely customer in the US








These beautiful bags have been made for a very talented design company in the US.

Manini's designs





These bags have been designed by my wife Manini, who's a completely dedicated and unapologetic bag maniac.

She's used some interesting fabric combinations and some topical prints to achieve some great "looks".

Love your opinion. Please give us some feedback on what you think of them.

Aren't these the most phenomenal products?




These incredibly complex bags are made for a great customer of ours in Canada.

I love their design sense and am so grateful for having being given the opportunity to be involved in making these products.

The fabrics were specially developed for these products, to give them their unique feel and texture.

These are nice pictures but come nowhere near expressing how delightful these bags are. You just have to touch and feel them to "get" what they're all about.

Combine fabrics - looks good!


This bag is here to show how well jute and cotton combine.

Jute is a loosely woven fabric and so there's a limitation on fine lettering being printed on jute.

This is a great solution and you get a very special looking bag!

Look at the printing - process printing using screens



This bag is here to show you our printing capabilities.

This one is a process print, which allows a quasi half-tone effect.

It cannot match the smoothness of offset but when you have a design that can't be printed using 4 or 5 spot colours what do you do?

So we tried this, and it worked!

The next photo is also of a bag done the same way.

One restriction: PMS (Pantone) matching can't happen when printing this way.
