village england bag

So here we are at the cusp of autumn, next bank holiday not until Christmas, it’s depressing coming back from holiday isn’t it? Well here at TWR we thought we might try and cheer up those post holidays blues, not JUST with news that we are holding our very first Salon, but with a chance to win a new handbag from the recently launched Village England collection. You’re very welcome.

Village England’s first range has been bought by Kate Evans at Precious London, one of our favourite independent boutiques and she’s offered TWR readers the chance to win a bag to help spread the word about the brand. Kate has a great eye for a new range, she was womenswear buyer at Harrods and Harvey Nichols originally, introduced me to Tucker and was raving about Carven long before the current  crop of mag journos started saying it was hot, so we pay attention to her. She likes the experienced team behind the Village England brand, founders Eddie Knevett and Julia Dobson have both been in luxury fashion for 30 years between them, and the emphasis on a quality product teamed with not-stupid prices.

Also the shapes are great, Kate’s been using her Appleton bag -the one you can win – in tough-but soft calfskin leather and loves it, She told us “The Appleton is the lovely bag in the picture on the bicycle, above. I’ve been using it now for a couple of weeks and it’s a great bag to use, extremely comfortable and I can find things inside! Love the ipad pocket. Even though I load things in and it can get heavy it doesn’t feel heavy on my shoulder.” it’s £395 if you want to buy it, but hey, why not try winning it first!

Here’s where you enter ….

Sadly I can’t enter the competition, so I’ve been perusing the other styles Kate has in stock on the precious website. I’m very taken with the black patent styles, both the Alderley Edge strap tote at £295 and the Shaldon strap cross body bag at £135 (all the bags are named after English Villages). The Flitton Strrup tote, below, at £295 looks useful too.

There’s nothing like a new handbag to lift the spirits, particularly if you win it for free, so do enter and we wish you luck. For anyone in the Spitalfields ares of London on Wednesday evening, Kate’s hosting an evening in the store (5.00pm – 8.00pm) where you can meet Eddie and Julia, the founders of Village England and receive an additional 10% off any of the bag styles.
