A new addition this autumn to Starburst is the new bag collection from local designer Cast Made. Sleek, simple, and elegant each bag is handmade in Totnes, Devon and uses vegetable tanned leather (using natural plant extracts.) The leather is designed to age beautifully over time and feels super soft which I think is an essential element in any leather bag..

Lucie uses sleek looking brass buttons to fasten each bag. Each button which is formed from her own thumb print is handmade in a foundry in North Devon. Available in two styles either across body or oversize clutch the bags work for day or night.

My absolute favorite has to be the buttery soft olive green clutch. I love olive green and just wish that more designers used it in there AW collections. I am still dreaming of an olive green wool pleated skirt from Prada which came out a few seasons back...but no one copied. Paired with bright mustard yellow and turquoise it was perfection.
And if theses pictures didn't have you leaping for your credit card then inspiration can always be found out there in blogger land. Habitually chic never fails to disappoint.
