    Tote of the Week: Allotment Mud by Betty & Walter

    Allotment Mud Tote Bag Via Betty & Walter (£48) Do you think this tote bag from Betty & Walter can count as part of my five-a-day? No? Oh well. There are many other reasons why the Allotment Mud Tote is Tote Of The Week! Firstly, its design is inspired by the illustrations from a 60s cookbook (I love old recipe books). Aren’t the vegetable silhouettes charming? Secondly, next year we’re sharing a greenhouse and allotment with our neighbours so we…

    Tote of the Week: Trick or Treat Halloween Bag by Hannah Stevens

    I have super fond memories of Halloween. That’s right, not just fond, SUPER fond. We didn’t wear fancy costumes due to lack of funds, only black bin bags fashioned into witches outfits, but our Halloween spirit was with us in force. We went trick or treating only on the roads and streets we knew well, and told each other ghost stories whilst making witch-like cackling noises (I’m a pro to this day). It was fun, harmless and celebratory of all things dark…
