Handmade bags for grown-up kids and dog mums.
Colours, cute prints, bag-shaped hugs.
Thank you for visiting my happy little shop - I'm currently taking some time off
for my mental health, so orders received between 1st & 15th March 2026
will be processed w/c 16th March 2026.

Grab a cuppa
(and biccies, obvs) and find your happy bag!
Every bag I make is a little love letter to joy - bright colours, biscuits, and waggy tails -
because what makes you happy
doesn’t have to match.

Let’s make your dream bag happen!
Got a wild idea? A favourite colour combo?
A lining that makes your heart do a happy wiggle?
I love turning your ideas into one-of-a-kind
bags that are so you.
From bold colour blocking to completely bespoke lining fabrics (yes, I can even design and print something just for you),
there’s very little limit to where your imagination can go.
If it makes you smile, if it feels special, if it tells a tiny story
about you — we can bring it to life together!
Every custom piece is handmade from scratch with care,
colour, and a glomp of fun - because designing your own bag should feel just as fun as carrying it!
How Custom Orders Work
To make sure every design gets the time,
creativity and attention it deserves,
I open my custom request list in dedicated windows
throughout the year. The list opens on 1st of every
other month and stay open for one week.
This gives me space to fully focus on the beautiful batch
of designs in front of me — no rushing, no frazzled
sewing gremlins — just thoughtful handmade magic.
The next custom order window opens:
1st April 2026
If you already have an idea in mind, you’re very welcome to message me anytime — I’ll happily pop your request onto
the list ready for the next opening.
Thank you for keeping this little one-woman studio busy —
it truly means the world.
Reserving Your Custom Spot
Once we’ve chatted through your idea and you’re ready
to go ahead, a £20 deposit secures your place
in the current custom run.
This simply reserves your spot and allows me to order materials and begin the design process. The remaining balance is
due once your bag is ready.
Because each piece is made especially for you,
deposits are non-refundable — but they mean I can work
through orders calmly and fairly, in the order they’re received.
Lots of love from the Bean & Bear gang -
Isla 🐶 (the boss), Rachel, Reggie & Rosie 🦝 (the trash
panda crew), and their hooman, Lynne 💛
