Based in Hampshire, From Rags To Bags offers an eclectic range of handmade handbags and home wares.

All the items are created from clothing, textiles, fabric remnants and vintage buttons where possible, together with some new fabrics. The majority of the handmade handbags, together with some of the home wares are one off designs, as lots of the materials used are in limited supply.

In 2010 I started on a journey to run my own textile design business in Kent. My vision for Lauraloves. is to create unique home accessories that are luxurious, individual, elegant and striking in design. A sense of exclusivity is at the heart of Lauraloves.

I graduated with a Degree in Printed Textiles from the distinguished Edinburgh College of Art. I then went on to work for many years as a Senior Print Designer in a well-known fashion textile design company in London. My designs were sold to worldwide high street and designer brands such as Anthropologie, Joie, Miss Selfridge, Lipsy, Fat Face, Roxy Quicksilver, Coast, Ann Taylor and many more. Since setting up Lauraloves our products have been stocked in Harrods, Bentalls of Fenwicks and many more.

My love for designing, patterns and natural fabrics is shown in every item in the beautiful collection of home accessories at Lauraloves. It is important to me that collections are printed, designed and hand made in Great Britain as too many products are now mass produced abroad and lack individuality.

My vision for Lauraloves is to combine essential textile design qualities with contemporary and classic designs to make luxurious and unique home accessories.
