Locations: Lake District, The Royal Crescent (Bath Spa), upcoming retreat in the USA

Working with Carmen and her team at A Yarn Story and Events Unwound has been a rewarding ongoing collaboration. We design and supply a tailored collection of bags, wallets, and accessories that reflect both her aesthetic and her deep appreciation for handmade craftsmanship.

For each retreat, we craft a custom “Retreat Bag” designed to hold the curated selection of gifts guests receive on arrival. These bespoke pieces, including tie-top bags and wallets, are not just functional but act as treasured mementoes of the experience.

Carmen’s passion for supporting small makers mirrors our own values, making this partnership a joy from start to finish. One standout moment was the retreat at the Royal Crescent Hotel in Bath Spa (2025), where our leather lanyards designed to hold room keys, name tags or scissors were such a success we received glowing feedback and repeat requests before the weekend was over.

This luxury knitting retreat, hosted at the prestigious Royal Crescent Hotel in Bath Spa by Events Unwound, was a standout moment in our corporate work. One that truly set a benchmark for future collaborations.

We designed a bespoke dark olive green fold-top tote, finished with Italian leather handles, exclusively for this retreat. Each guest also received a personalised leather lanyard, hand-finished with their name and a discreet slot for their room key. Elegant, useful, and a far cry from the usual name stickers that fade or go missing. These lanyards served as both a practical accessory and a meaningful keepsake from a memorable weekend.

The feedback was nothing short of exceptional especially from renowned knitwear designer Erika Knight and her daughter, who were delighted to receive their own bags. Moments like these affirm our commitment to thoughtful, beautiful design and reinforce our place at the table in the luxury lifestyle space.

Our long standing collaboration with Vincent and Max of Les Garçons has become a cornerstone of our creative work. Over the past three to four years, we’ve worked on a series of bold, design led pieces. From ice-dyed canvas bags with shimmering gold details to dark leather shopping baskets and printed rolltops featuring their signature illustrations.

One highlight has been our 2025 collaboration: a set of grey marbled bags with a luminous gold finish. It’s a perfect example of what happens when two brands with a shared eye for quality and originality come together and just... click.

Every project we take on with Les Garçons is full of energy, laughter, and incredible ideas. It's one of those rare creative partnerships where the process is just as exciting as the product.

This vibrant collaboration with Danni of Black Mountain Yarns was a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and female-led businesses. We brought together the talents of three women-owned brands to produce a limited run of stunning ice-dyed bags each one hand-dyed, screen-printed, and sewn in-house at our Cotswolds studio.

These bags were the first to feature our own in-house screen printing, making this project a milestone for us. For the initial batch, we used a deep black overprint, carefully chosen to complement Danni’s custom Spincycle colourway. The second run saw us switch to a shimmering silver overprint, again matched precisely to her next exclusive yarn release. Each bag felt like a small work of art distinctive, bold, and full of life.

This project pushed our creative boundaries in all the best ways and reaffirmed how exciting small-batch collaborations can be when every detail is intentional and made with love.

In 2023, we collaborated with Candice of Farmer’s Daughter Fibers to create something that felt as warm and nostalgic as it did functional. The result? A limited edition of our roll-top bags crafted in waterproof denim canvas, each one featuring custom embroidered patches that echoed the charm of a well-loved denim jacket.

This project marked a new chapter for us creatively—it was the first time we introduced embroidered patches, and the tactile combination of textures really set these bags apart. Each piece was finished with a leather handle embossed with both our logos, a quiet nod to the collaborative spirit behind the design.

These bags had real personality, and honestly, we think they were some of the coolest we’ve ever made.

Spincycle Yarns are known for their vibrant colourways and creative energy, so when they approached us about a bespoke collection, we jumped at the chance to collaborate. Working with founders Kate and Rachel and their lively team was a total joy from start to finish.

We created a diverse range of custom pieces for their store our signature roll-top bags, crossbody drawstring bags, and oversized overnight totes, all adapted to reflect Spincycle’s bold, joyful palette. Each piece was a celebration of colour and craftsmanship, designed to sit comfortably alongside their yarns while offering the same level of quality and function.

This collaboration pushed our creativity and reminded us how fun custom work can be when it’s rooted in shared values and a playful spirit.

The outcome? A stunning collection that flew off the shelves and quickly became a fan favourite.
