I do not use leather for ethical reasons and Joanna very kindly produced a fabric alternative. This worked very well however, I did purchase ,faux leather replacement handles, which really suited the bag. The style and quality of the bag is fabulous. I am going to be purchasing further bags for myself and gifts for family. Thank you Joanna

    Very pleased with my new bag, love the design. My previous Umpie bag lasted 7 years despite quite heavy use so have high hopes this will be similarly robust.

    Really well made. Attractive print which appears to be long lasting. Little feet on bottom to protect bottom of the bag. Nice size but handles inclined to slip off shoulder. Really recommend and best bit actually made in this country for a change. Query (my fault) was dealt with extremely quickly.

This one is for a special holiday in New Zealand. Umpie bags are always very well made, fabulous fabric to suit all sorts of needs, different from the run of the mill bags on the market, well designed to hold a multitude of necessities that can always be found with ease. My other current bag is a crossbody leopard print which has had lots of compliments.

I wanted a handbag that I could use every day that would match any outfit style and colour scheme without having to change handbags seasonally; it's a practical size so it holds what I need without the capacity to be overstuffed and too heavy...and I love the little feet so I don't have to worry about putting it on the floor too much when I'm out. I wanted to wait to find something more unusual so I have been looking for a bag for quite a few months when I saw an advert for Umpie with interest; the fact that it is British made is fantastic - I will show the "Umpie Yorkshire" tag with pride when I'm out. My partner's reaction was also much more positive than the typical man's "not another handbag"! - he also liked that fact that it's homemade and said it felt like really good quality material. I only received my bag this afternoon so it hasn't even been out the door yet - but I love it already. Thank you!
