FAQ
What is the difference between a hand bag and a cross body bag?
A hand bag is carried by a short, fixed handle in your hand or over your arm, while a cross body bag has a long adjustable strap worn diagonally across the body. Both can be personalised, but the carry style is the main difference.
What is the best personalised hand bag in the UK?
The best personalised hand bag in the UK depends on how you'll use it, a chain initial tote for everyday and work, or a straw basket bag for holidays. Adding your initial or monogram makes any of these styles feel bespoke.
What is a good top handle bag for everyday use?
A good top handle bag for everyday use is a structured, hard-wearing style like our SORRENTO canvas tote, which holds its shape and keeps essentials organised. A fixed handle makes it easy to carry by hand or over the forearm.
Are straw basket bags good for summer?
Yes, straw basket bags are a popular summer choice thanks to their light, breathable structure and relaxed look. Personalising one with your initial adds a distinctive touch to a warm-weather staple.
What size is a bamboo handle tote bag?
Our bamboo handle tote bags are generously sized jute totes suited to shopping, beach days and everyday errands, with a sturdy bamboo handle that's comfortable to carry by hand.
