About Me

Born and raised in England, I’m an eco-preneur, working to put beautifully designed and responsibly made bags into people’s hands and over their shoulders. When I’m not working, you’ll either find me gardening or down at the beach with husband, Chris, and our 2-year-old son, Oliver… New England weather permitting!
