For only the second such sale in our 7 year history we have dug deep in our stock room, our sample storage and recalled a wide variety of samples from our PR and sales agents. On sale will be many types of bag, handmade belts, the odd cap and some key fobs. Some are interesting …

Saturday saw a trip to the British Film Institute to view the recent restoration of Captain John Noel’s The Epic of Everest. This powerful and poignant film of the 1924 British expedition serves as a fascinating historical record and a memorial to Mallory and Irvine who lost their lives during the final summit push.

Becky French, Marwood‘s creative head, and I have spent some time on this collection. Yes, the designs are straightforward, simple even, but these are the ones that take most time to perfect. Cherchbi and Marwood have much in common and we’ve made full use of the creative process to explore shared interests; vintage gentlemen’s accessories, …

As we corresponded with the customer we began to learn more about her occupation, that of an artisan cheese maker. The missing bag was to be …

In the case of three new bags, that day is today. These bags are a good representation of our pared-down design innovation combined with eclectic references …
