Story:

Pumpkin Primrose consists of a sister team of designers based in an ideallic whitewashed village in Andalucia. Our bags came about after we had been invited to a large grand wedding but couldn't find any bags to co-ordinate with our dresses. With only days to spare and an idea in our minds of exactly what we wanted to create we set about making the first Pumpkin Primrose bags. The bags went down a storm at the wedding and we ended up taking several orders.

We managed to source the finest wool which felts like a dream and has the most adorable colors. Our market tends to be women who genuinely want a unique bespoke bag of the highest quality that they won't see others carrying or women who need a special contrasting bag for a special occasion who we personally take pleasure in advising on colors and design.

At present we have two ranges for sale at our on-line shop: Essentials- for those small special occasion bags and Pumpkin Primrose Label - which we are loving as each have individual linings and semi precious stones such as Amethyst and Black Lava Stone in co-coordinating colors.  We have customers who return time and time again but we feel it only polite not to disclose how many bags they have in their collections.  Recently we featured at the Child-line Fashion Show and our bags received a spectacular response. We are just launching our beautifully feminine Pumpkin Primrose Wedding Range for not only bride but also bridesmaids and mother of the bride.

As yet we haven't had any design nightmares although we have had a few scary color requests- we do advise clients but they always have the final say.  Our greatest sense of achievement comes when we see a women carrying one of our bags. What could be nicer!
