Row, row, row, your boat!

AHOY THERE!

We are very excited to say that the next collection of BURGHLEY bags are sailing their way to us! 

Being new to the handbag/travel bag designing and manufacturing game I have been on a huge and very steep learning curve. The last couple of weeks have been spent trying to find the most cost effective way of getting the beautifully made bags, designed by me here in the glorious English countryside at BURGHLEY HQ. The good news is we are finally there. Shipping company instructed, the 60 boxes of handbags, travel bags and accessories are finally on their way to us. That's a whopping half a ton of handbags. Sound like a girls idea of heaven?

Here's a few sneaky preview pics of what will soon be ready to be snapped up via our website www.burghleybags.co.uk

We hope you like them and we simply can not wait for them to land!

Don't worry we'll keep you posted of their progress.

THE SEDGEBROOK

This gorgeous canvas and leather handbag will be available in green as shown, and also in oatmeal. The perfect companion for those summer days in the country.

THE BELTON

The perfect bag for when you just need to run out of the door. With a cross body strap and zip pocket to the rear this bag keeps your hands free for a dog lead or those bags of shopping at the county show.

THE BURGHLEY LADIES WALLET

A classic, timeless beauty. This brown leather wallet will age beautifully, a must have in anyone's handbag.

It has been immense fun getting this bags and wallet from paper to leather. We hope you like them as much as we do. Keep and eye on our website for the latest info.

BURGHLEY BAGS

BURGHLEY's ideas for getting out and about in the great British countryside this weekend.

You don't have to be a genius to see that here at BURGHLEY we love the outdoors and all things country.
This time of year gets us very excited about brushing off the winter cobwebs and getting outdoors. The sun is shining, the blossom is on the trees and we need no reason to get out and enjoy everything that the Great British countryside has to offer.

Here's our top tips for things to do to get you out there and in the thick of things.

• Visit a Canal- There is nothing more relaxing that walking next to water. We are lucky enough to have plenty of canals int his country that offer miles of tow path walks and even one or two pubs to stop for a drink and a watch of the boats. Find your local canal or river walk here: https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/see-and-do
• Visit a stately home- The properties of the National Trust not only offer a window into the past lives of these stunning, historic, buildings but most have acre upon acre of beautiful gardens and estate land. Find your nearest here: http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/
• Go for a walk in the woods- With the buds finally opening into leaves, the sun shining through the canopy and the rustle of sticks and leaves under your feet there is nothing like walking in the woods. Not to mention the bird song and wildlife on offer. The Forestry Commission's website will tell you where to go near you: http://www.forestry.gov.uk/visit
• Go for a bike ride- You can go so much further on two wheels than two legs. Plenty of places in our local area will offer bike hire if the ones in your garage have rusted away. Sustrans can help you find a cycle path near you to get off the road: http://www.sustrans.org.uk/ncn/map
• Go in search of history- If history is more your thing, then why not visit on of the amazing places conserved by English Heritage. Follow this link for some near you: http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/

If you don't fancy travelling, how about staying at home, there are plenty of things that don't cost much that you can do on your doorstep.

• Plant some seeds- With spring fully in flow now is the time to try your hand at growing your own produce. You don't have to own acres of garden, you can reap the rewards of sowing a few seeds even from a window box. Ditch those packet salads and get some easy to grow cut and come again in a simple planter and you'll be having fresh leaves all through the summer. This is a great one for kids too, as long as you don't mind them running outside every day to see if their seeds have sprouted yet!

• Practice your photography- the age of the smartphone has given us all the opportunity to get out there and see what nature has to offer. Why not practice with flowers n your garden, or landscapes nearby. 

• Build a bug hotel- This is another great one if you have kids, or even if you just love your garden. Insects, especially bees and lady birds play an important part in our gardne ecosystem so why not give them a helping hand. You can use anything from old pipes to pieces of straw. Here are some good tips from the RSPB http://www.rspb.org.uk/makeahomeforwildlife/advice/gardening/insects/building_homes.aspx

• Climb to the top of a hill- there is nothing more uplifting than climbing up to the top of high land and stopping to enjoy the view. There is the sense of achievement, looking down to where you started from, but also seeing how far into the distance you can see. Take a deep breath of fresh air and enjoy a moment of peace.

• Go for a picnic- If you're lucky enough to have good weather this weekend, why not pack up some tasty treats and dine al fresco. There is nothing better than sipping a glass of wine and watching the sunset!

If we have inspired you to get outside this weekend, we'd love to hear all about it, why not comment below, or tell us on facebook!

SPRING/SUMMER RANGE IS FINALLY HERE!

Its been a long time in the making but the first additions to our Spring/Summer range are here. It may seem to those on the outside that things have been a bit quiet here at BURGHLEY HQ. Fear not we have been beavering away to source a completely new range of bags for the coming season.
It has been a long process of sourcing new suppliers, designing bags, sampling leathers, waiting for samples to fly to us, then going backwards and forwards tweaking them to perfection, but we are there. The first order of the first range has been delivered and we are so excited to say that they are now available on our website!
So what are you waiting for go go go, take a peak!
