Wanted - custom made bag

Having seen lots of handbags (designer and otherwise) with pics of cats or dogs on them, I would love to have one with a photo of my beloved dog who sadly passed away a few months ago.

I have lots of photos and I'm sure one would be suitable. Can anyone suggest how I could go about getting such a bag made, at a reasonable cost (only just started a temp job after a few months out of work).

Thanks

Lynn

  • Thank you very much Sheel. More expensive than I'd hoped but it gives me something to aim for. :)

  • I've bought 2 from Next and they are much admired! I recommend their service!

  • That's good to hear. BTW is there a choice of colours?

    That is fantastic thanks! I have always wanted one of those handbags but not at nearly £100!

    Now I am off to search for a Next code!

    Thanks again
    ;D
