\nOur bags are absolutely unique. Out there you can find “carpet” bags made of tapestry, kilim, fabric, velvet or velour… Some of them even have Oriental patterns, but none of them made of thick deep-piled woven rug.<\/p>\n

Bags made from the finest quality rugs produced in Western Europe, that woven from unique synthetic yarn, patented by a rugs manufacturer. It is plushy, soft, light and silky, but deep-piled, quite thick and firm at the same time, that makes bags look and feel full bodied.<\/p>\n

All our bags are made in the European Union. We perform the most careful and precise quality control checks. All trimmings and other materials we use are of the superior characteristics and design.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We are \u2018Made of Carpet\u2019, a unique British heritage brand. We design and produce traditional and exclusive handcrafted Carpet Bags. We are the Renaissance of Victorian Fashion.<\/p>\n

The idea of these beautiful unique Carpet Bags has been inspired by such famous English literary characters as Mary Poppins and Miss Marple.<\/p>\n

Designed in London and handcrafted exclusively in Europe, our bags come with bespoke trimmings and are made from the finest quality rugs produced in Western Europe.<\/p>\n

We have closely examined all kinds of materials and technologies, and have found those that meet a performance capacity of the highest nature in modern machinery, all of which meet an authentic Victorian experience as well as health and safety standards. Our carpets are rainproof, soft, light and silky, yet thick and firm at the same time. They are full bodied, strong and durable.<\/p>\n

Our manufacturers are highly reputable and established businesses. Led by industry experts, their teams of experienced craftsmen demonstrate incredible attention to detail.<\/p>\n

These efforts have not gone unrecognised. We were finalists at Drapers Digital festival Award, Drapers Footwear and Accessories Award, British Travelgoods, Handbags and Accessory Association Fashion Accessory of the Year Award, West London Business Award and British Top Designer Competition. We were also official goodie bags partner of BRIT Award 2015.<\/p>\n

Mystery travel company srprs.me \u2013 Trips and Gift cards.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The perfect present for you and your Mum, or a special treat for your parents to enjoy together, srprs.giftcards are unique, as even the sender doesn\u2019t know what they are giving their parent. The only guarantee is that the trip will treat your Mum to a destination as special as she is.<\/p>\n

Wrapped in colourful packaging the srprs.giftcards allow the giver to include a personal message and can either be sent by post or delivered personally. The cards take just two working days to be dispatched and are valid for up to two years after issue. Cards can be loaded with any monetary value from \u00a350, which is redeemable against the cost of a trip.<\/p>\n

For those wanting to whisk their mum away on a srprs.me trip during Mothers\u2019 Day week, trips for three days start from \u00a3180 per person.<\/p>\n

How does a srprs.me trip work?<\/p>\n

Using the online platform, specify how long you want to be away for (3-5 days for Europe, 7 days for worldwide), your chosen dates, a departure point & favoured flight time and your preferred type of accommodation
\nNote up to three destinations you\u2019d prefer not to travel to for a standard city break, or one destination if you opt for a certain region of Europe (meaning couples can buck the traditionally romantic destinations in favour of somewhere a little more obscure)
\nReceive your dedicated page and srprs.consultant who personally selects the ideal destination, flights and accommodation to deliver the most memorable experience
\nSeven days before departure, you\u2019ll receive the weather forecast for your destination so that you can pack appropriately
\nA couple of days before you go, a scratchcard will arrive in the post. This reveals a code, which is your key to discovering your destination
\nScratch off the card at the airport, input the code into your phone and surprise! You\u2019re going to\u2026<\/p>\n

Ashvin Harrison VISUAL ARTIST prints available globally on www.bluethumb.com.au<\/a> (Shipping Globally)<\/h3>\n

I create based on my feelings for life and death… dark shadowing, strong contrast and a sense of light from above is often evident in my works.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My latest creation is based off an older work I created. I have now created enough tree inspired works to consider them a series. I come back to this idea as it links well to my views on life. You’ll notice I create most of my works in a singular form or through a sense of isolation. I also leave most background white to hint at timelessness through an existential view. I aim to make the focus of the piece set without time restriction, as if it could exist in any time or place. This boab tree is based off a boab I took photos of on my travels through Northern WA in 2008. Such a beautiful place to sit and think.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My latest creation is inspired by the beauty and mysterious nature of an owl and also a clear night sky. I, like so many, love owls. I started with charcoal to create a strong angle and deep shadow. I then added highlights to hint at night lighting reflections. A mix of acrylics and resin was then poured and splashed around the canvas to express movement, emotion and vibrant beauty. Ready to hang high quality canvas.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

My charcoal and acrylics horse painting is created with a focus on freedom, time and the rhythm of life. I created a photorealistic looking horse with delicate charcoal brushing and smudging. I then splashed acrylics and acrylic mediums throughout with an intension to create motion within my desired theme\/perspective on life. This art piece has 8 colours blended in a fluid look. It also created some additional colour blends throughout.<\/p>\n
