Today I am speaking to Barbara Keen, of All Day Bags. Barbara makes quality bags for people on the go, the colours of land and sky. Barbara uses UK based textiles - Harris Tweed and tartan from Scotland and Linton Tweed who have made textiles for Chanel for 100 years. Barbara makes a range of bags from tote bags for laptops and shopping, gadget bags so you don't leave your cable, mouse or battery behind, bags of lavender to ear bud bags.
