When the day met the night.

I love a challenge, especially a creative one, so when Clippy London asked if I fancied customising one of their bags, I jumped at the chance. Their products are so simple, but so effective - Calypso Rose, who came up with the brand, actually became London Young Business Person of the Year a few years ago, because they were so popular.

I love this concept - they create bags and other bits and bobs (even umbrellas!) made up of clear plastic pockets so you can add your own pictures, drawings - anything - and create something completely unique to you.

I debated what to do for a while - there are so many possibilities - but in the end I decided to keep it simple. I printed off two photographs that I'd taken onto A3 paper, measured them out carefully and chopped them up. And voila: a windowpane effect bag that I know no one else has. With a day side, and a night side!

   

I'm already thinking about other ways to customise it - I'd love to do a Friday Frocks version (just with pics of the dresses - not of me IN the dresses, now that WOULD be the height of narcissism to carry that around, ha!). But I love that I can change this as often as I fancy. I went for the 9 Pocket Tote Bag - it's lovely and big, and very sturdy, perfect for lugging around all my bits and bobs!

Clippy are launching a competition soon where readers can vote for their favourite customised-by-a-blogger bag at their Facebook page. If I win, I get prizes to give away to YOU - so go and 'like' their page and I'll let you know when voting starts. In the meantime, I see a couple of my favourite bloggers have already got their bags up on their blogs - check out Michelle's and Bee's!
