"Hi, I have just ordered my Baby Changing Bag in Raspberry Ripple and can't wait for it to arrive! I have been previously using a Cath Kidston saddle bag but have been struggling for space with it. A friend has one of your changing bags and after a good poke around it I had to get one. So it will be bye bye Cath Kidston hello Old Bag Company"

"Hi Sally, have you ever been asked to Mentor for another person? My friend and I are about to launch a business and wondered if you would be willing to mentor us. I was first drawn to your compoany when you were featured in Woman & Home Magazine, it is an impressive story but you have kept a sense of humour about your company and involved your family. You can tell from the website that you have alot of fun with your business but underneath you are obviously an astute business woman. I love The Old Bag Fan Club and your story has inspired me, I would love to hear from you. Fingers crossed!"
Jo, Bath

Thanks for responding so promptly to my impatient emails."

The Sophie is the perfect size and is so beautifully made you must be so proud of what you have achieved, well done. My daughter in law has just popped in and loves my new Old Bag so I probably will be ordering another one very soon!"

"Hi Sally & Co I dont usually contact people about products I have bought, but I have just been reading your website and thought what a lovely lot of people you are. I bought a Sophie bag and fell in love with it straight away that I did not wait to get back to the car to use it but sat on a bench emptying my bag I had brought with me and organising my new Old Bag! I am now using my bag everyday for work as I can get my book, lunch, water umbrella and everything I need for day into the bag. Everyone who has seen it loves it. Good luck to all of you and hope you go from strength to strength".
Anne, London
"Hi Sally I just wanted to let you kow how much I love my Old Bag Laptop/Business bag you gave me to "road test". Its seems you have thought of everything in terms of size and convenience.

"Being a complete Old Bag novice I recently purchased an Ellie Junior bag for a friend's teenage daughter. What makes it all the more special is when I read you give a percentage of the bag cost to an adoption charity. I adopted my daughter Sophie 11 years ago and its fantastic to find a company doing such wonderful work such as your beautiful bags and accessories but reading that you still find time to support a brilliant charity too. Many thanks once again for your thoughtfullness and creativity".
Sarah, BFPO

Barry, Cumbria
"In May this year I celebrated by 60th Birthday. I had been looking in our local gift shop at a bag called The Old Bag. My husband without my knowing was saving for the Old Bag and I had no idea until he took me to the shop and bought it for me. Whilst on holiday I can't tell you how many people stopped and asked me where did I get my Old Bag from. Yesterday, my husband bought me another Old Bag and using it the same day I was asked can you tell me please where you got your bag from. I felt I should share this experience with you and say thank you for The Old Bag Company".
Lily, Bury
"Just bought a beautiful Old Bag from a shop in Devon. Never seen anything so lovely, absolutely hooked on my Old Bag, I will treasure it. Thank you so much for brightening up my day".
