Flights of Nancy

      





I don't know how correct it is to call an inanimate object beautiful, but in the case of this leather holdall I was sent by Flights of Nancy it is the first word that springs to mind.
Owner Natalie got in touch with me a couple of weeks ago, after a mutual contact hooked us up. I was instantly smitten both with her charm and website which not only sells these stunning holdalls (£90) but a whole range of high quality leather goods from purses through to messenger bags, such as the "holy bejesus it's yellow" version show above (£60).

"Flights of Nancy started life 18 months ago. Inspired by the leather and batik bags we discovered in our travels across Indonesia, we began working on our own designs in partnership with small family-owned businesses in the region.
Today, we’re proud to produce ethically-sourced, hand made leather holdalls, messengers, shoulder bags, satchels, clutches, and an array of batik bags. Our leather goods are all hand dyed using vegetable-based colouring, while our batik products are made from recycled fabrics".

You can buy the range from the website or via ASOS marketplace


Being the sweetheart that she is, Natalie has offered readers of adaisychaindream a fantastic 10% discount code for her shop; simply enter 4CU60DB0HAUV at checkout (the code has NO expiry date and valid only through Flights of Nancy website).

You can also win your very own leather holdall, worth £90 in a colour of your choice by leaving a comment on this post stating your favourite item from Flights of Nancy and a way for me to contact you.
The giveaway is open to UK residents and will run from today through to Saturday 14th July at 6pm.

Good Luck folk, trust me, this is a good one!

Ooh I love the holdalls, especially in dark brown. I have a cream Angel Jackson holdall just like it whichI'm looking to replace, its getting a bit grubby. Hope I win!

From the website I absolutely love the shoulder bag in a camel colour with stitched detail. Reasonably priced too.

I don't think I have ever been so enchanted by an inanimate object! I only shop ethically which can be tricky so it's just dandy to see a company with beautiful produce sourcing their stock ethically.

The dark brown leather holdall is without doubt my favourite. It looks like the sort of thing you might uncover in your nan's attic.

A real treasure. My email is hms.sinky.town@gmail.com
