Our Story

After more than 30 years since first learning to knit, I found myself drawn back to the craft my mum once taught me.

My mum was a dressmaker with a remarkable eye for colour, detail and self-expression. She wore a new vibrant outfit every day, each one full of personality, creativity and care. She taught me not only how to knit, but also how handmade pieces can carry meaning, beauty and individuality.

Since her passing, I have found myself picking up the knitting needles again, and what began as a quiet return to something familiar, has grown into both a creative challenge and tribute to my mum’s creative background.

Ms Purlington was born from reinvention and a desire to create something bold, distinctive, and unapologetically different - a collection of handcrafted knitted bags inspired by mythological goddesses and the confident women who embody their spirit.

Each bag is handmade using high-quality materials, with careful attention given to shape, texture, colour and finish. My aim is to create knitted bags that feel elevated, luxurious and fashion-led, while still carrying the warmth and individuality of something made by hand.

Every piece is designed to stand out, and no two bags are exactly the same. Each one is created with its own character, detail and personality.

For me, this brand is a way of honouring where my creativity came from, continuing a craft passed down through family, and creating beautiful pieces that can be carried, loved and remembered.

Ready Made vs Made to Order

At Ms Purlington, every bag has a story. Some pieces are available as Ready Made and can be dispatched quickly, while others are handcrafted especially for you through our Made to Order service.

Ready Made

Our Ready Made bags are completed pieces that are ready to ship. These bags may have been used for product photography, displays, content creation or customer events. As a result, they may show very minor cosmetic signs of handling or small handcrafted variations. Any such imperfections are carefully assessed and do not affect the beauty, functionality or durability of the bag. Because they have already been created, Ready Made bags are often offered at a reduced price and can be dispatched much sooner than Made to Order pieces.

Ready Made is perfect if you:

- Would like your bag sooner

- Love a particular design exactly as shown

- Enjoy discovering a one-off piece at a special price

Made to Order

Our Made to Order service allows you to create a bag that feels uniquely yours. You can select your preferred:

- Style or pattern

- Size

- Colour

Once your order is placed, materials are sourced specifically for your piece and your bag is handcrafted individually by Ms Purlington. This process takes longer than purchasing a Ready Made bag, but it allows us to embrace a slower, more thoughtful approach to fashion—creating pieces with intention rather than producing unnecessary stock.

Made to Order is perfect if you:

- Want greater creative choice

- Are looking for something more personal

- Appreciate craftsmanship and slow fashion

- Don't mind waiting a little longer for something made especially for you

How long does Made to Order take?

As each Made to Order bag is handcrafted individually, please allow up to 21 days for production before dispatch.

How to Care for Bags

Every Ms Purlington bag is individually handcrafted and designed to be enjoyed for years to come. With a little care, your bag will retain its beauty, structure and character.

Everyday Use

While our bags are carefully constructed for everyday wear, we recommend avoiding overloading them. Carrying excessive weight may place unnecessary strain on the structure, lining and hardware, and may affect the bag's shape over time.

Cleaning

Our bags should not be machine washed, tumble dried or submerged in water. For light marks or surface dirt, gently wipe the affected area using a soft, damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. For more stubborn stains, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water and gently blot the area. Avoid vigorous rubbing, harsh cleaning products, bleach or solvents, as these may damage the fibres, lining or hardware. Always allow the bag to dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.

Protecting the Shape

To help your bag maintain its structure, avoid folding, crushing or placing heavy objects on top of it. When not in use, lightly stuff the interior with acid-free tissue paper or clean soft fabric to help preserve its shape.

Storage

Store your bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity and heat sources. For best results, keep your bag in a dust bag or a breathable fabric cover when not in use.

Hardware Care

The metal hardware, logo and keychain are designed to complement your bag beautifully. To maintain their finish, avoid contact with perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning products and excessive moisture. If required, gently polish hardware using a soft, dry cloth.

Treat your bag with care, and it will accompany you on many adventures to come.
