We have just gotta say this...

Every now and then we love to show people how things work behind the scenes at High Spirit. Making our bags in London is amazing because we get to be close to the action and it enables us to give our customers a real time update of how their bags are coming along in the manufacturing process. We love our home-grown manufacturing. Our bags are basically fresh from the machine. Lol!

Since collaborating with Helen Anderson to create the Anderz Backpack line, the response has been amazing. We want to Thank You and team that have worked hard on bringing this to Life!! We feel like we are bringing more sparkles, glitter and sunshine to our World and to people’s lives. It is also great to know that we are not the only unicorns and that there are many just like us. Although it has been a lot of hard work in getting everything perfect for our customers it has been worth it. So we’ll keep making safe and beautiful bags for you wonderful people.  :-)

What is your favourite thing about living in London?

I love that every part is different and there’s always something new to do. I’ve lived here my whole life and I don't think I’ll ever get bored of it. Like Samuel Johnson said, ‘When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.’

Where in the World would you like to visit?

Australia, definitely. I’ve had this obsession with it since I was really young and grew up watching programmes and documentaries about it. Plus they have the coolest animals and England’s a bit lacking in cool animals.

Where is your favourite place to eat in London?

This place called The Diner in Shoreditch, it has the best pancakes

What do you love doing?

I like hiking. It’s a great way to relax, when you live in London it’s super easy to forget that there’s stuff outside of the city haha

3 favourite things everyone should do in London?

1. Walk along the Thames

2. Go to a gig because there’s always loads on

3. Go Geocaching
