French Bulldog Head


Partly  sculptors, partly painters Anne Freisz and Laurent Poumarat carve, sand and hammer their work crafted out of papier mache. This lovely image and design is fixing my dog craze and want for a  bag with a big brass dog head. Im working on it.

French Bulldog Head is currently on sale at Atelier Abigail Ahern, 137 Upper Street, Islington, London, N1 1QP

The streets of Hackney


The latest shop in the craze of the bag, Well Street, Hackney. I love the women who runs it, the mix of freezers. Pure Hackney luxury.
