Hi my name is Tracey, I am a self taught seamstress and have been playing around with fabrics since I was a small child, I have always had a passion for fabrics and the beautiful things you can make from the different types. I live with my husband in a small suburban town just outside of Nottingham in the UK , we love to travel, especially to the highlands of Scotland, my husbands birth place and the home of some amazing tweeds.

BAGS of Elegance came about in 2011 when I decided to make a complete career change and follow my dreams of using my creative design and sewing skills to set up  my own business.
My sewing room is my spare bedroom in our bungalow, although I do seem to take over the whole house at times !! I love all kinds of fabrics but especially wool tweeds and upholstery fabrics, I use these in small quantities to keep my bag range stylish & unique.
