handmade bags
Handmade here is literal: one continuous brass wire, knitted loop by loop by hand, made to order in small runs from the UK. The making is visible in the object — no two bags knit up identical. Free UK delivery, ships worldwide, dispatched within 14 days.
What makes a bag genuinely handmade?
Hands doing the forming work, not just the finishing. A knitted wire bag is the strict version: one continuous wire worked loop by loop, so the making is visible in the object itself — slight variations in the knit are the signature of a person, which is why no two come out identical.
Why do handmade bags cost more?
Hours of skilled labour with no economies of scale. A machine line amortises cost across thousands of units; a hand-knitted bag carries its own hours. What you get back is construction you can inspect, materials chosen by a maker rather than a cost sheet, and repairability — a snagged loop eases back rather than ending the bag.
How long does a made-to-order bag take?
Ours dispatches within 14 days — each bag is made after you order it, so nothing sits as dead stock. The wait is the honest cost of no waste; if you need it for a date, order with the dispatch window plus transit time in hand.
