We've been in our new office since October but have only just got round to cheering the place up a bit after a few very busy months. It's quite an industrial unit so it has been quite challenging to make the space cosy but we think we're getting there at last. Here's a few Instagram snaps of how things are looking at AB HQ:
We love Ikea's picture rails, they've instantly brightened up the walls next to our desks.
Over the years we've collected tons of cards, postcards and prints which we've never got round to finding homes for. We've hung some of our favourites using twine and little aluminum pegs. This is such a quick and cheap way of displaying small pieces of art.
Alphabet Bags HQ wouldn't be complete without some Alphabet drawers!
Our sister site The Calm Gallery uses up lots of plan chests! We have a million of these white Ikea drawer units plus some lovely large vintage plan chests.
The best thing we did to spruce up the office was to bring in lots and lots of plants which we've dotted about all over the place. They make us happy!

Happy very belated New Year everyone!
We have had a rather busy January here so apologies for the lack of updates. After the mad rush over Christmas we had a little time off to recharge and have been super busy since catching up and getting started on new collections.
We have loads planned for the year already and we can't wait to start sharing new things with you all. In the meantime, here's some Instagram shots we've taken lately at home and at the office. Follow us on Instagram (@alphabetbags) if you fancy seeing what we get up to in the office plus lots of pictures of our cats!
Hope you have a lovely weekend and a fantastic February.

Back in April we had our first ever photo shoots for Alphabet Bags with a professional photographer and stylist. It was a fantastic few days during which we learned a lot thanks to our brilliant team. Although the weather was freezing for the outside shoot (in April!), everyone did such a great job and we were so pleased with how the pictures turned out. Here's a few behind the scenes snaps from the shoots:
For our second shoot the fantastic design shop and cafe Drink, Shop & Do very kindly let us use their space. With so much lovely furniture and lots of wonderful spaces the cafe provided the perfect backdrop for our product shoot. They hold some brilliant events too, you should definitely check them out. Also have to mention that their brownies are just the best we've ever had (and sprinkled with glitter)!
You can check out many of the photographs from our shoots by flicking through our look books.
We just want to say another huge thank you to our amazing team, we loved working with you all!
