As regular readers will know, I love nothing more than celebrating a British brand which are not only based here but also create their products in Britain. This is true of my latest handbag crush, Olive Cooper.

I discovered their bags on instagram sometime ago although it wasn't until I visited one of their stockists, Wolf and Badger, I was able to see the bags in reality.

The collection is inspired by London and created while co-founder Olivia (Martyn) was working in the city. Olivia was motivated by her own realisation that professional women required a bag that could combine work and social life. The Olive Cooper collection features handbags which can detach to become larger or smaller bags, therefore allowing ladies the opportunity to leave the large bag at the office.

My favourite bag is the Eaton, made from pebbled leather, it has a lustre and deluxe feel to it.  I have the inability to edit anything from my handbag contents and with this bag I don't need to, I can fit my styling kit and technology in with ease, then detach the front smaller bag for after work cocktails.

This is the first collection from Olive Cooper, who launched last year. I am really looking forward to seeing new styles and different colourways as the brand develops.  I love the new metallics, perfect for Spring!
