Nikki Henderson’s extensive training as a hair stylist and colourist has proved invaluable when it comes to her unique handbag designs. She has become well known for her innovative use of shade and tone. Each bag is handmade with intensely coloured cottons, linens, silks, brocades and blended fabrics.

Her ‘Double-Booked’ bags have become a runaway best seller. They are made with denim, twill or corduroy for strength and are built to last. My favourite is the denim bag (above left) with printed cotton flap with a cute house pattern.

I also picked out this beautiful ivory bag (above right) from the ‘Mischief’ range. Each bag in this range has twin easy grab handles and a zipper closure. Nikki describes them as follows, ‘An innocent but eye-catching mix of eclectic cottons, these bags will charm the pants off of anyone who gets in your way.’

The full range, which includes bags for going out (Lady of the Evening) and bags to take you from day to night (Burning the Candle) can be found at www.doppelgangerhandiwork.com.
