'The guvnah' loves her bags, so I thought I'd give her a little treat by showing this funky satchel by Kampuchika. It's made from strips of deep coloured raw silk with a silk strap, held on by rings carved from coconut shells. It has a little pocket, handy for your mobile phone, and a magnetic patch which keeps it closed. Kampuchika's products are all handmade ethically in Cambodia, by 'disadvantaged' groups such as women and the disabled. They operate a strict fairtrade policy and support local charitable groups who help these groups work from home, and earn a decent wage.
