David Hampton: A Wallet for All Time

Whether it's cash or cards, all of us at some point will need and carry a wallet. Much like my handbag, my wallet is often overfilled with cards, coins and receipts. Add in a few keepsakes and lucky charms, and my wallet is an everyday essential.

I have an appreciation for finely created pieces, and the range of wallets, purses and accessories from David Hampton are the best of the best.

Makers of superior leather goods since 1989, David Hampton products beautifully crafted wallets, purses, travel goods and luxury leather gifts for men and women. With exceptional customer service and skilled craftsmanship, David Hampton is a distinctive and timeless producer of the finest leather goods and gifts on the market.  Made from premium quality leather by skilled artisans, all David Hampton items come with a lifetime guarantee and a promise of continued excellence.

The Oak Grain Leather Zip Wallet is perhaps one of my favourite products. Available in classic black, or aubergine or fuschia, the wallet is perfect for a hoarder like me! With three interior sections, a zipped coin compartment and an outside pocket, the wallet can comfortably hold twelve cards and is fully lined. It's perfect for travelling or for adding a touch of British chic to everyday proceedings!

David Hampton produces a fantastic range of leather items, and all would be ideal Christmas gifts for family, friends and loved ones this festive season. I know where I'll be starting my Christmas shopping!

Thanks to David Hampton for my awesome Oak Grain Wallet! 

Chapman Bags + Giveaway

I'm passionate about supporting British brands, and I'm delighted to introduce you to one of my favourites, Chapman Bags.

Originally a manufacturer of fishing and shooting bags, Chapman Bags  makes hand crafted canvas, leather and tweed bags for travel, leisure, business and sporting activities. Using high quality materials of British origin, all of the bags are made in their Tannery Road factory in Carlisle, Cumbria. This great video shows how the manufacturing process works:

Chapman Bags are committed to their base in Cumbria, and the natural beauty of the surrounding Lake District and Borders has provided much of the inspiration for their canvas, leather and tweed bags. A number of the bags are named after local places and pastimes.

Most of the employees are Cumbrian born and bred, and whilst some have been with the Company for much of their working lives, Chapman Bags are also committed to taking on and training young people, an investment essential to maintaining the technical and craft skills required to manufacture in England. They recently launched three new apprentice programmes, all vital for the continued success of the business.

I've teamed up with Chapman Bags to give one lucky reader the chance to win a Large Border Rucksack. A classic canvas rucksack style designed for carrying larger loads; the bag is suitable for hiking, touring, cycling and commuting.
