This tiger bag was based on my three legged tabby cat Toby. Originally I wanted to make a bag with his face on, but I didn't like the idea of working with brown shades of leather so Toby became a tiger.
 
This is also an extra special bag because this design was featured on the BBC 1 television series 'Make it at Market', in which I took part. 
 
I wanted a really bright and bold lining for my bag so I used a beautiful Hertage West African pattern called 'Acarzs' that dates back to 1864.
 
The bag is made from dark blue navy leather with navy and yellow adjustable strap. Inside the bag has two pockets and a magnetic fastening.
