I receive the loveliest messages from my customers — but this one made me smile more than most.
One of my customers sent me this photo of her cat, fast asleep and entirely at home inside her navy Kilim Umpie Handbag. No invitation. No hesitation. Just a cat who spotted a beautiful bag, decided it was the finest napping spot in the house, and made herself comfortable.
And honestly? I can't argue with her taste.
My Kilim handbags are made from Kilim print fabric — rich in colour, texture, and character. Each one is individually crafted in my Yorkshire studio, with premium leather straps and antique brass hardware. They're made to be loved and lived with. Apparently that extends to the family cat.
If your own pets have developed a fondness for your Umpie Handbag, do send me a photo — I'd love to see it. In the meantime, a lint roller is your best friend.
