Handbags come in many different styles, colours, shapes and designs. At Coco Barclay we love creating new shapes but you can't go wrong with a classic shape! The below gives you a guide to just a few of our classic shape favourites. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clutch bag</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Typically a structured and rectangular shape, minimal pocketing and made to carry life's essentials like your purse, phone and must have beauty products. Clutch bags were first seen in the 1930s made famous by Hermes. Great for a night out as a clutch is small enough not to detract from your outfit!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tote bag</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Also known as a shopper bag, a medium or large bag with twin grab handles or shoulder strap, an open top and minimal pocketing. Popularised by the eco friendly shopping tote, these bags can deal with pretty much anything and are great for everyday use whether it be for your shopping or everyday essentials. We love to have fun with the tote and add one off elements like vintage ties. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Messenger bag </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Usually rectangular in shape with a single top closure and at least one internal compartment, some pocketing and long adjustable strap. Designed to be worn across the body or thrown over the shoulder, a really well designed messenger transitions from a bike ride to the office with ease. Perfect for those who carry their laptop regularly but don’t want to use a backpack. Our solo messenger comes in many colours. </div>

Hobo bag </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><br /></strong> Large crescent shaped bag with shoulder strap. The hobo is a staple for every successful bag brand. A well made hobo will sit comfortably on your shoulder, fits all of your essentials in as well as the shopping you did on your lunch break! Bang on trend for this year. Our Sarah Mac hobo is named after one of our lovely customers!</div>

Colour is everywhere and shapes our daily lives. Whether it be through what we wear or how we decorate our homes, its an important way to express who you are and how you feel. It is all around us and shapes our daily mood, if the bright yellow sun and infinite blue sky are out we feel happier than when the grey skies are above us. But in grey weather, we need things to keep us happy, like a great raincoat and maybe a good book, but also, colour.</div>

Our colours in leathers and fabrics are often chosen before we start designing a new collection, we look at what colours are going to be on trend and also what colours will suit our new designs.</div>

A favourite of our customers (goes with anything!) is black, black has always had a huge connection with mourning and dates back to the Roman empire. In 19th Century Britain woman in mourning had special black garments made for them to show they were mourning, they were expected to wear these clothes for up to 4 years after the death of a family member! Nowadays black is a staple in many peoples wardrobes. </div>

Red is another colour we love, particularly in the fun Coco Barclay skirt bag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Red is a powerful colour, it has the property of appearing to be nearer than
it is and grabs our attention first before any other colour. That's why it is used in traffic lights all over the world. Its effect is physical, it stimulates us and
raises our pulse rate. It relates to the masculine principle and can activate the "fight or flight"
instinct. Red is strong yet feminine and looks wonderful worn!</div>

Since the beginning of time, green has signified growth, rebirth, and fertility. In pagan times, there was the 'Green Man' a symbol of fertility. In Muslim countries, it is a holy colour and in Ireland, a lucky colour. It was the colour of the heavens in the Ming Dynasty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The English language reflects some strange attributes: Would you rather be green with envy, green behind the ears, or green around the gills? All these sayings are feelings, so green is a very strong emotional colour.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here at Coco Barclay green makes us feel happy! </div>

Every collection needs a starting point. Usually there are already ideas kicking around in sketchbooks, or partly made samples in the studio. Every designer uses new colours for their collection, as well as new shapes or types of bags. And then there is the essence, a much harder thing to define.<br />
So, when we look forward to the next season, we are always looking at the colour forecasts and handbag news, but also thinking about growing the brand and continuing the essence.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the themes we like to play around with is that of vintage textiles.</div>

The brand Coco Barclay has strong links with the Royal London borough of Greenwich. Not only is it home to the Coco Barclay shop but also our studio where all new collections are designed, sampled and made. This corner still looks much the same today. I hope I'm right in saying the Admiral Hardy Pub now takes up the space. I love this picture.</div>

Royal Greenwich has a rich history and is home to many of London's great landmarks such as the Cutty Sark and the Royal Observatory but possibly the most known of all, Greenwich Market. It is popular for<br />
delicious food and antiques and designer makers,<br />
it has everything to awaken your senses. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Coco Barclay began its brand journey here. Trading on the market for over 10 years building up the company and growing a loyal customer base. </div>

From the 14th century, Greenwich had a market, originally trading on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The present site dates from 1700, when a charter was assigned to the commissioners for Greenwich Hospital for 1000 years!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The original market sold meats, vegetables, eggs and other fresh food. It also was home to peddlers selling goods such as china, glass and earthenware. </div>

In 1845 the licensee of the Admiral Hardy pub was given permission to convert the large room over the newly built arch in the market into a small theatre with a tiered balcony. The inscription on the arch still reads:</div>

“A false balance is an abomination to the Lord but a just weight is his delight” </div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
References to what we now call handbags started appearing in the early 1900s. At first the term referred to men's hand-luggage. Women's bags grew larger and more complex during this period, and the term hand luggage was then attached to the women's accessory.</blockquote>

From the ancient beaded bags of Africa to the<i> </i>tote of the modern woman, handbags have historically been both the holders of secrets and the signifiers of power, status, and beauty. </div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: center;">
Early Europeans wore purses for only one purpose, to carry coins. Purses were made of soft fabric or leather and were worn by men as often as ladies. The Scottish sporran is a survival of this custom. In the 17th century, young girls were taught embroidery as a necessary skill for marriage, this also helped them make very beautiful handbags.</div>

By the late 18th century, fashion in Europe was moving towards a slender shape for these accessories, inspired by the silhouettes of Ancient Greece and Rome. Women wanted purses that would not be bulky or untidy in appearance. </div>

The modern purse, clutch, pouch or handbag came about in England during the Industrial Revolution, due to the increase in travel by railway. In 1841 the Doncaster industrialist and confectionery entrepreneur Samuel Parkinson ordered a set of travel cases and insisted on a travelling case or bag for his wife's particulars after noticing that her purse was too small. He had them made in leather to match his own luggage and leather was used in order to distinguish them from others, who mostly carried bags made from carpet (carpetbags).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the 20th century, art and fashion movements came and went in and the handbag evolved along with them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Branding became increasingly important during the 20th century and the great handbag designers emerged. Designers known all over the world for their exclusive handbags and leather ware include Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Prada. Bags began to change in style from season to season.</div>

The thimble has great history, we use it in many different ways, especially the cloisonné thimble.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The thimble is a small pitted cup worn on the finger to protect when sewing and aids pushing a needle through when sewing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Old English word <i>þȳmel</i>, the ancestor of thimble, is derived from Old English <i>þūma</i>, the ancestor of our word thumb.</div>

<span style="color: black;">The earliest known thimble which was a simple ring dates back to the </span><span style="color: black;">Han Dynasty</span><span style="color: black;"> </span><span style="color: black;">ancient</span><span style="color: black;"> </span><span style="color: black;">China</span><span style="color: black;"> and was discovered during the </span><span style="color: black;">Cultural Revolution</span><span style="color: black;"> of the </span><span style="color: black;">People's Republic of China </span><span style="color: black;">in a dignitary's tomb. Thimbles dating back to the 10th century have been found in England, and thimbles were in widespread use there by the 14th century.</span></div>

18th Century keepsake thimble </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In 1693, a Dutch thimble manufacturer named John Lofting established a thimble manufacturer in Islington, expanding British thimble production to new heights. He later moved his mill to Buckinghamshire to take advantage of water-powered production, resulting in a capacity to produce more than two million thimbles per year! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
By the end of the 18th century, thimble making had moved to Birmingham, and shifted to the "deep drawing" method of manufacture, which alternated hammering of sheet metals with annealing, and produced a thinner-skinned thimble with a taller shape. At the same time, cheaper sources of silver from the Americas made silver thimbles a popular item for the first time.</div>

Originally, thimbles were used solely for pushing a needle through fabric or leather as it was being sewn. Since then however, they have gained many other uses. From the 16th century onwards<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></sup>silver thimbles were regarded as an ideal gift for ladies, and of course to make a Coco Barclay bag look special and beautiful!</div>

During the First World War, silver thimbles were collected from "those who had nothing to give" by the British government and melted down to buy hospital equipment.</div>

Once you've got your new Coco Barclay handbag or accessory home of course you will want to look after it.</div>

Leather naturally softens and wears with age which makes the product look even more beautiful and creates great character. We use a lot of glazed leather which has a soft shine due to the finish of natural wax. Some customers like their leather with the wax rubbed off, leaving more of a matt finish. But if you want to keep that shine, you will need to re-wax the bag from time to time. We prefer to use any hard, clear wax. Rub it in with a cloth, wait 20 minutes, then buff thoroughly with any soft fabric. It also helps keep dirt away and repels moisture. Good leather products should last a lifetime and even be passed on to the next generation! <br />

To keep leather in the best condition we recommend using a leather protector. We use the US based brand Fiebing's, who are experts and this year will be celebrating their 120th birthday! Here at Coco Barclay we wonder if the reason they are so successful in America is all of the wide open space, where horses and saddles are big business! Also, it seems like quite a coincidence that Fiebings are based in Milwaukee, where Harley Davidson is also from (and me, as it happens). Fiebings are probably the choice for Harley owners everywhere, to keep their motorcycle seats and protective wear in gleaming condition! The law in Wisconsin states you don't have to wear a helmet, but you do need to look your best!<br />

We use many of their products, including their saddle soap. Just mix with a little water and rub over the leather. It makes the leather look as good as new without taking away any of its 'sparkle'. Another good product is their saddle oil which makes leather shine and restores the moisture. </div>

Greenwich is famous for its maritime history which often inspires Coco Barclay designs. Greenwich houses many famous landmarks such as the National Maritime Museum, Royal Hospital School and the Greenwich Meridian which tells us what we cannot live without....the time! </div>

The most famous of all the Greenwich riches is the Cutty Sark, built in 1869 for the Jock Willis shipping line and used for the tea trade. Shes had a tough life though, being damaged by fire twice in recent years, first on 21 May 2007 while undergoing conservation. She was restored and reopened to the public on 25 April 2012 but on 19 October 2014 she was damaged again, nevertheless she is still in Greenwich being marveled at by many a tourist! </div>

All the beads have their own story and that's why we love them so much! Mostly vintage beads, they are re-worked and re-loved, often being recycled from vintage jewellery and accessories. </div>

When creating products with beads the colours and shapes are carefully picked to make the perfect match, then hand sewn to the leather. A special leather needle is used which has a triple sided point so it can pierce the leather without tearing. Sewing with this is a time consuming job and it takes a lot of practice to master the art. Once the beads are sewn on securely it is delicately glued down to ensure its extra strong and the product will last a long time! </div>

We often mix leather with other textures such as fine merino wool hand knits in bright colours. These are used for straps giving the bag that special one of a kind touch. We work with the talented knitter Suzie Lee to achieve these designs. <a href="http://suziekaylee.com/">http://suziekaylee.com</a><br />

Each bag has its own special pattern, the patterns are designed in the Coco Barclay studio in London. The pattern has to be sampled and re sampled until it's perfec.t A knife will be created by a specialist to cut out each bag in production. All the knives are different shapes and when all the pieces of leather are cut using this knife they will fit together in a perfect pattern to create the bag.</div>

After all that hard work we were treated to an amazing party, it was the show's 25th anniversary and they celebrated in style. We were whisked off a on a boat passing the Eiffel tower light show, sipping champagne and making new friends. We were then dropped of at a boat that had been converted into a bar complete with roof terrace of course! We ate, drank and danced the night away. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the anniversary with them and end the show. </div>

We collaborated with a great knit wear designer Suzie Lee. She carefully hand knits each strap and front tie using 100% naturals wools to create a beautifully intricate finish. This is then hand sewn onto each bags frame giving the bag a one of a kind look. </div>

Falafel usually refers to small balls containing chick peas or fava beans, or both (must remember to ask what is used in these, as they are some of the best I've had). If you play your cards right, you will be served by this man whose smile will lift your spirits even when you are grumpy.</div>

We will get to that later! It has been so hot (I'm not complaining) lately, that sometimes it is a drink a person needs. So it was a delight to meet Theo of HOTBOX BREW, who used to be a banker before turning brewer. His stall is so inviting, I couldn't decide what to try first. Predictably (my Grandfather used to have a fabulous patch), I went for the raspberry. And I would highly recommend it to anyone, before your next shop at Greenwich.<br />
