Monday 2nd Jan morning until Sunday 8th Jan the website will be open for orders everyday. From 8th 5pm the website will be closed and reopened according to our 2022 schedule (open weekly Friday morning for the weekend and closed Sunday 5pm). Any other closing times will be announced throughout the year depending on specific circumstances.
We thank you for all the support this year, wishing you a Merry X'mas and Happy New Year!
]]>From this week on, our website will only be open for orders for a limited couple of days every week. From Friday morning to Sunday afternoon, website will be open and you can place your order but no posting on the Friday when the order is placed. Orders will typically be dispatched on the following Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. Monday to Thursday the website will be closed for orders but you'll still be able to browse.
This change will come into effect from the afternoon of 27th Sunday when the website will be closed and opened on Friday morning.
We apologise for the change and any inconvenience caused. Please do note wholesale orders can still be emailed through and processing time will be a few days.
This change is needed due to new University commitments outside the business this year. We thank you for your continued support and understanding.

]]>Additionally, you might also choose to prepare a piece of fusible interfacing (to cover the back of the anchor points from the inside), fray stop, a small pair of scissors or a 2mm hole punch and an iron.
STEP 2: Get your marker to mark on the rim of the screw bases on the strap anchor. Go over a few times to leave enough ink on there.
STEP 3&4: Very quickly after Step 2, turn the strap anchor over to the right side and press the screw holes firmly onto the firm scrap piece of material so the ink leaves 2 hole marks.
STEP 5: Measure the distance between the middle of the hole marks- about 10mm/ 3/8" in this case.
STEP 5: Flip your external piece to the right side. Use your pattern piece or decide on your own where to place your strap anchor. Find and mark the centre of it.
STEP 6: From the middle, mark a straight line (properly levelled to the bottom line of your bag piece). And mark 5mm from either side of the centre line just marked.
STEP 7: Use your seam ripper or a 2mm hole punch to make 2 holes on the marks we just made in Step 6. If using seam ripper, make sure they're no bigger than 2mm.
STEP 8: If using a woven or fraying material, make sure you dab some fray stop on the edge of the holes.
STEP 9: Place your strap anchor now on the right side and poke the screw bases through to the other side.
STEP 10: Cut 2mm holes in the piece of scrap (on the marks we made in Step 3&4). . And then place it on top of the screw holes of the strap anchor.
STEP 11: Place washer on top of the scrap piece and then put screws in. Make sure everything is aligned and tighten up screws. Use glues on the screws if preferred.
STEP 12: Get a larger piece of interfacing scrap to cover everything of the back of the anchor- the firm scrap, the washer and screws. Get your iron hot and fuse the large piece (around the edges).
STEP 13: Turn the bag piece to the right side and check to make sure you're happy with everything. And you're done!
