Hope and Benson

Sharing a love of traditional crafts, fashion and fabrics, designers Angela Hope and Daniela Benson set up Hope and Benson to create a unique range of handmade handbags and accessories using the finest British and Irish wools.Hope and Benson products are made almost exclusively from natural materials and are created from beautiful Harris Tweed, Mohair, Tartan, Donegal and Shetland Wools. Each bag contains a sprinkling of lavender, grown in The Burren, in Southern Ireland, adding a subtle fragrance.Hope and Benson are committed to not using cheap, exploited, overseas labour. All the manufacturing remains in the studio’s, where each bag is hand cut on the premises and constructed using traditional methods.An artisan approach and the use of quality natural materials is our passion and we are proud that each piece is lovingly made by hand in England and Ireland.We hope you enjoy your bag as much as we have enjoyed making it!Angela and Daniela
