Spring Summer 2017 100% British Made Handbags We are proud to present our SS17 collection. Research has told us that you already know, love and appreciate the traditional craftsmanship and quality of Owen Barry bags, therefore for the SS17 season we have given a great deal of emphasis to researching, resourcing and commissioning a spectacular portfolio of skins. As always we endeavour to resource our collections close to home, thereby reducing our carbon footprint and ensuring the eco provenance of our leathers (and hardware). Our palette has been expanded to encompass even more on trend colours particularly in the Classic Softezz group plus introducing our new vibrant Suave palette. Yet again we have used our inherent skills and craftsmanship to ensure the new designs and developments are bringing exactly what you want - Handbags with security, that are lightweight and tactile, plus the opportunity to put together individual head turning combinations. Additionally all of this comes with the award winning reassurance of our full lifetime guarantee.
