Unique Totes
I'm always keen to reuse discarded leather and fabrics so I make one off totes from high quality materials that might otherwise go to landfill.
Each bag I make is unique and lovingly crafted in leather or vinyl with wool, cotton, linen or velvet linings (the one in the image was crafted from VW camper van upholstery vinyl!)
About nap2
History
Sustainable Materials
Sustainable Materials
I launched nap2 as a business in 2023 but I've been designing, making and repairing leather products for a long time.
I'm dedicated to creating design led, hand crafted elegant bags intended to appeal to people who want top end design quality and be proud to invest in my bags knowing each one contributes to reducing surplus materials going to landfill.

Sustainable Materials
I use durable leather and UV safe vinyls and fabrics on the outside of my bags and natural linen, cotton and wool as bag linings. I source as much as I can from UK manufacturers and suppliers.
I often upcycle high quality surplus materials, blending colour and texture to create beautiful designs.
Handcrafted With Care

Handcrafted With Care
I design and make my own unique designs in my Bristol studio - nothing is imported or outsourced
Each nap2 handbag, whether a simple cotton tote or a veg tanned handbag is hand crafted with great care and attention to detail.
My bags are stylish, functional and durable: ensuring that my customers will enjoy their bags for years to come.
