1. You can pick up a good ole' march in comfort. We spent alot of time adjusting the pattern to ensure that the bag sits comfortably when walking. The straps fit across your body with the bag itself positioned on your hip.

2. You get two bags for the price of one (said in market voice). Once again we spent (and still spend) many hours searching for the right fabrics that look bold and fabulous when paired up together. The bag is double lined and fully reversible with both a pocket on the inside and outside.

3. It's a hands free bag. We know that most women have their hands full with something or other and as such the opening has been positioned so that it is very easy to get things into and out of the bag.

4. It can adapt to multiple uses. The Hipster Bag also makes a great bag for new mums as it can be adjusted to fit over buggy/pram handles. It's also a great holiday/ travel bag as it can be rolled up small and placed in baggage. Simply unravel, sling on and show off at the other end..

5. It is handmade in Old Blighty specially for us. Every bag is made with love and care by Carla, our seamstress. The quality and finish is second to none.

6. It is original. We haven't be able to find anything else quite like it on the high street or web street. You are buying something that is absolutely unique and, we think, rather special.

Feedback from one of our first ever Hipster Bag customers;

'I LOVE my Hipster bag. It fits perfectly around the body and is super
easy to get in and out of, an essential for a frenzied mum. It gets a
lot of admirers because of its charming looks..BOTH of them! Thank you
The Wise House!' -Beth Simpson

'As soon as I saw the Hampton Hipster Bags I fell in love with them all and I just had to have one. I can truly say its the most gorgeous looking and beautifully made bag I own. I love that's it's completely reversible so you're getting two for the price of one! I'm a always on the go mum of three young children and the fact I can get in and out of it easily plus be hands free I find a complete bonus. I can also sling this over my Phil and Teds buggy with nappys, wipes, spare clothes, snacks etc and still find my purse, keys and phone thanks to the fantastic pockets. I can not recommend this bag enough. Once you have one you'll wonder how you ever did without it. 10/10 amazing, thank you The Wise House. ' -Lucille Potter

Saturday saw our first fair of the season at my daughter Rose's school. It was a Country themed fair with the usual fete-like activities; tombola, hook-a-duck, lucky dip etc. As great as school fairs are there can be a slightly manic atmosphere; harrassed parents chasing around toddlers and parting with lots of small change as their children insist on trying out everything. (I speak from experience on this, I now get to hide behind my stall while my hubby does the hard work!). However, this was one of the loveliest, most relaxed fairs I have been to in ages and we had a storming day!

Thanks to the fair organiser, Emma, we had a great spot just in front of the climbing frame net. This gave us the perfect place from which to showcase the new Hampton Hipster Bags (including their reversibility which I became slightly obsessed about demonstrating). We were also right next to the 'performance' area where the children did some beautiful singing and wonderful dancing including the very catchy Miley Cyrus' Hoe down Throwdown (fave move: lasso swing and thigh slap).

Our bestsellers were the Hipster Bags (more designs on the way), Lined Large Baskets and Lined Shoppers. There was also a lot of interest in Harold and Flo. You can just about make out Harold in the photo below. He is a prototype based on my childhood rabbit called Harold (pictured right in the early days). My Harold is now extremely flat but with a few revamps curtesy of my mum he is still going strong. The Harold pictured is a new generation Harold and we also now have a lovely girl rabbit called Flo. They drew so much attention that I think I will have to put them into production...

So we're feeling very positive about our new products and excited about getting out there for the next fair which will be the Twickenham Festival.
