I’ve been seeking a new laptop bag and been consistently disappointed with what’s available. Not anymore!

By some miracle (read: Google search) I came across an article introducing this divine ‘Funchico‘ vintage style clamshell laptop bag by Rainebrooke. And it was love (or maybe retail lust?) at first page load!

Don’t you think that it’s just absolutely divine?

New range of Pooch Warmers, this time in beautiful light kashmir wool – perfect for spring (or autumn for that matter!) walks.

This design is for the slightly more sophisticated and not quite so camp pooch, and subtle enough to not make your partner blush too badly when it’s their turn to walk the furball ;)

My sweet little poodle got clipped very, very short this time, so I thought I should make her a warm coat… this somehow led into me making a limited edition range of pooch warmers exclusively for my favourite pet supply store Paddo Pets!

The first design in the range is a 1950′s Cookie Coat: made out of divine 100% kashmir wool in 1950′s shades of baby pink and baby blue. Trimmed with ivory cookie cutter edges and featuring a slit middle back for leash to harness access during walks.

Warm, comfy and oh-so-cute!

Plan is of course to use these patterns as a base to create some unique designs of my own.
