Speaking of bags with a conscious, I’ve been meaning to post about this bag from Los Cojones Del Perro for a while now. It’s cute, comfy and carries loads without feeling too heavy on the shoulder. What’s surprising is how strong it is and the quality is brilliant….best of all I love the humanitarian concept behind the brand.

The brains behind this Cape Town label is a French Bulldog by the name of Mickey Munden…..sounds nuts? It is… Each piece is individually customised by a group of ladies all from previously disadvantaged backgrounds who gain a valuable sense of pride and renewed confidence from their work and whom inject a little bit of their personality to the finished product. The label also produces fun t-shirts for both men and women, some are not for the faint hearted but the majority are safe to wear. Whilst the t-shirts weren’t for me, the bags certainly are, I carry mine too much and unlike others (which shall remain nameless) the straps haven’t given up on me yet!
